[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lies have become so elaborate there are fourth graders that still believe in Santa, flying reindeer and magical stuffed elves.  Lol, it isn’t for the kids at that point.[/quote]

And? Who does it hurt for fourth graders to believe in magic? I never told my kids any “elaborate lies,” and answered their questions with things like, “hmm, what do you think?”  Most kids will gradually figure it out over time, but many still like to play along and pretend. I certainly never told my parents I knew, but at some point of course they knew I did. But it was still fun. [/quote]

Our twins provided us with "evidence" the Christmas they were in fourth grade that they knew the elves weren't real. They gave us exhibits and everything, it was hysterical. We laughed so hard and answered all the questions truthfully and they decided they wanted the elves to come back the next year anyway because they were so much fun and they wanted to believe. That was last year and at some point I'm sure they'll be done with them, but what harm is it to have a little fun one season a year?[/quote]
