Is Santa Real?

Halloween is fast approaching which means the entire Holiday Season is nearly upon us. This year will be a little different since I broke the news to my daughter that MOM is SANTA. I figured it was time (at the age of 12) to learn the truth about the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa. If one is maturing physically, learning about the "birds and the bees", Santa must be left in the past. And, what mother wants her daughter made fun of for believing...not this mother.


This was NOT an easy tasks, however, as she was convinced that Santa really did exist. After all, she has heard the "thump, thump" on the roof, he has written her letters, she has seen Rudolph flying across the sky (yes, it was a blinking plane), and she even saw Santa and Ms. Clause driving in a white mini van, stopping at our house, and picking up some of our (bulk) trash. The convincing mother that I am, led her to believe that since Santa is so busy, he is short on time and finds toys sometimes wherever he can.


I do believe this is a magical time of year and how special it is to see the wonder in children's eyes. I also feel it will be an extra special year as I now have an elf that will work with me to make this the most special holiday season for her 8 siblings. As one season in her life passes I am sure this new one will bring her as much joy if not more.
