[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in middle school. Let me explain how it’s done. Up to about age 6 you just vehemently pretend Santa is real. Starting around 7, when they get more rational and have heard the rumors, you suggest that believing is important to getting the presents. This causes them to play along until about age 10 or 11. It makes Xmas more fun for the whole family. The grandparents enjoy it, parents, kids, everyone. It’s for FUN. This is not like telling your kid to hide sexual abuse. It’s a fun little pretend secret about magic that everyone likes to participate in as part of the joy of Xmas. [/quote]
