[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8.5 year old still fervently believes.  He is such a wildly creative child that his imagination is fully on board with all thins Santa. He can envision the workshop, the planning and mapping of routes, the reindeer feeding schedule before the big event, etc. Same with Tooth Fairy. I think I'LL be the one crying when he realizes Santa isn't real. It's so wonderful to see it all through his eyes.

this describes my 8.5y to a T. He still believes with his heart and soul - and while I worry that he will be crushed when he finds out, I love that he has the passion of his convictions.[/quote]

If it makes you both feel any better mine truly believed until 10 and even then still kept it all up.  I could tell once she truly knew but in her heart she kept with it for all the fun.  She is 13 now and keeps the spirit alive for her 5yr old sister. Most of her friends only want presents. My daughter truly has Christmas spirit and is so much fun to be around.  She wants to do most of the decorating, she puts christmas music on her phone/ipod. She still wants to put her pajamas on and go look at lights, bakes the same cookies every year, donates and volunteers to the same places, watches the shows etc...

So the same will probably be for your kids too.  Keeping the magic alive and they will do the same later.  Some families are just not that into it and you see that in their kids.  It is just about getting gifts.  [/quote]

Thanks. I am the 2nd PP - and I can totally see my kid doing these things well into late childhood. He loves Christmas lights, going through the ornaments and talking about where they came from while listening to Christmas music...[/quote]
