Father Christmas and children

Remember never tell your child there is no santa in this world by my idea. santa is a great people and a kind of man is a belief may not important for us but is very important in children heart, santa make every children have a worm heart and to be helpful to others at the same time the children will believe that I can overcome very difficult like the old man santa can bring every thing I want no matter how impossible and how far this dream present. "one old man can do I must can do in the future" saying in children's heart.

The children in my country don't believe that santa clause is true. But they believe that there're a girl and boy on Moon. They love them very much :)

my 13 year old believed in santa for the longest time. she just grew out of it. i think kids should be as kids as long as they can.

My children believed that there is Santa as they received gifts in their stockings hanged coming from Santa as reward for being good children, now that they're grown ups, they pass the belief to their niece and nephew and every christmas they also play Santa to them. I think there's nothing wrong if parents let them believed there's Santa while they're still young, anyway it serves as motivation for them to do good and an inspiration for them to see Santa on Christmas days. Santa anyway is a part of the Christmas tradition.

As soon as my children wondered if Santa was real or not I always said to them, when you think Santa is not real then it will all be over. So as long as in your heart you feel that Santa is real than the excitement continues. What I meant with this is the joy and fun out of wondering what they would get for Christmas as opposed to me going directly to the store and what date that would be. So it is all in the heart nothing more than that.

Your son is so smart! Kids being kids, they will outgrow it sooner or later when they know the truth. After all, what we adults are doing is trying to make them happy in the season of love. It's a season of give and gifts, so it doesn't hurt to let them into fantasy. Santa claus might be fake but the gifts and thoughts that comes with it are real.

Smart kid but fun for friend to do this

Jo jugs, I like my loving kids to have the sweet dream of santa during their innocent childhood. That's why there are lots of fairy tales as well as fantastoc legends for children. My husband and I are more that will to be the amiable santa to award the kids with their longing festival gifts if they behave well the all the time. It's a great pleasure to share the joy to see the kids playing with or hugging their respective desired gifts. The gift seems like the impetus to lead them to the right and healthy way to achieve their goal in the coming days. They would find out there isn't any dream Santa Claus when reaching certain age depending on how they experience life. To me it's a good remembrance to have such beautiful dream in our childhood, like what I had experienced when I was a little girl. I know my late dad and mom are the loving santas in my life. Every single gift I had received in the festive day having its genuine love and unique meaning that inspired me to be good

One of the fun parts of being a child is believing in Santa, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny. Let them believe as long as they can. They grow up too fast as it is. It's all down hill when they discover there is no Santa Claus!

lol thats to funny did you let your friend know ? I hate it when our kids loose that innocents My daughter caught me being the tooth fairy she was pretending she was sleeping an when I reach my hand under her pillow she open her eyes an said ahahh I caught you I knew you kidding I tried to talk my way out of it but she already had the heads up that there was no tooth fairy thats to her cousins

Merry christmas is coming!! lol =D How i wish i get to hear about such things when i'm a kid, but i dun have the luxury of it.. lol =D As my parents quit school early back in the olden days, they have no idea about whatsoever santa claus etc and christmas celebration.. lol =D So, i can only imagine it from textbooks, and stories being told ot me by teachers.. hehe All i know is that, i have to hang a smelly socks by my windows and santa claus will ride by, dropping me a gift.. lol =D I'm naive back then, unlike your son.. haha

What do you mean there is no such person as Santa? I am shocked! All this time I have been lied to!

I think children should be children and believe in Santa as long as they can. Soon enough they will learn the hardships that life can offer. When they get a little older, other children in school or an older sibling will tell them it is not true. I imagine it was quite funny that your son thought your friend still believed in Santa! A friend of mine's grandchild still believes in Santa, at least she did last year. There was a website that told children to let Santa know what they wanted and he would get it for them. The child doesn't live with my friend, and didn't see them till the day before Christmas. She went on the website and made a list of what she wanted. It was too late for my friend to get her all the things on her list and she couldn't figure out why she didn't get what she asked for!

Believe in Santa is the most pure things for a kid. We all must "believe in santa" sometimes:D

I do not feel that you should tell them until they are ready and then if they still believe there is nothing wrong with it. I know that the idea of Santa was real and so the spirit is still real in our homes. Why is it wrong if they believe in Santa?

no Father Christmas !, no Santa Claus! of course he exists, along with the tooth fairy, the bogey man and the little green men from up aloft!!!. Its fun to believe in all things christmassy and i will always look up in the sky christmas eve and look for the sleigh and listen out for the sleighbells. I love christmas films, especially santa claus the movie and the polar express. so of course he exists. ( now for the men in white coats to take me away, but i will be out in time for christmas!!!)

Oh my gosh, that is hysterical. Just shows you how really innocent children are, and I think that's adorable. My kids stopped believing around the age of 8. My youngest daughter was seven when she said she didn't think there was a Santa Claus because all the kids at school told her that. It broke my heart, haha, because it was so much fun every year doing the Santa thing with the cookies and all. I ended up having one of those letters sent to her "supposedly" from Santa Claus, and she ended up believing for just one more Christmas. I think she really wanted to believe there was, and now she's 37, and still wants to believe there is. We all need to have some fun right?

It's kind of sad when a child no longer believes in Santa. Spoils the fun of being Santa. My oldest figured it out on her own when she spied me setting up gifts one year. My youngest still believes. My middle child finally decided 2 years ago that there was no Santa. Up until that point she had adamantly believed Santa existed even when kids at school disagreed. She told me it's because she knew Mom and Dad couldn't afford all the gifts that Santa gave them.

My youngest asked my mother one day if there was really a Santa. My mother of course said yes there is a Santa (I think my daughter was about 4 at the time). Of course my big mouth oldest son (13 at the time) said "no, there is no Santa Claus, it is just dad). I wanted to clobber him! Thank goodness my daughter thought her brother was lying. I think she believed for a few more years, but around when she was 8 she stopped believing and I was almost sad because obviously being that she was the youngest, it just seems like all the extra "magic" of Christmas is gone without little ones believing in Santa.

Ha ha ha. I remembered when I was a kid. When I woke up early in the morning, I saw lots of toys inside the house and my mother used to tell me that Santa Clause was the one who put it there for us. Until I was at the age of 12 years old, when my mother had finally said that Santa Clause was not real and the person that who gives toys every Christmas day was my mother, I was disappointed at that time, but it is okay because now, I understand that Santa Clause is not real and every Christmas day, whenever my 8 year old cousin said that there's a real Santa Clause because of what my Aunt taught her, I would say to her that there's no Santa Clause so that she knows it already at the early age.
