[quote=Anonymous]"WTF? You went to great lengths to make your kid believe all those years and then crushed him by saying Santa won't bring him presents anymore? THEN he realized?? Wow." I did it because he was the last of his peers and he was being made fun of by other kids. I wanted him to have one more Christmas of believing without having kids make him feel bad or silly or too old at age 10. He was sad, but he also felt comforted that every thing that happened before was believable. Kids' awareness of a bigger world around them develops when they mover from age 10 to 11. It's the difference between 4th and 5th graders. Glad your teens are having a good Christmas. Mine is a teen too. Maybe we will see you at the mall on the Santa line for photos. Thanks for making me feel stupis for helping my son manage the inevitable disappointment. [/quote]
