Dear Santa
Our household is smack dab in the middle of a seasonal crisis. I think I may have written earlier about my own personal dilemma in trying to figure out if I was going to tell my daughter whether or not Santa Claus is real. I went with the whole honesty is the best policy mantra and my own daughter laughed at me, rolled her eyes, and informed me she did not believe me. She had chosen to believe in Santa.
So, last week she told me she knows Santa is not real. Yet, she is not ready to fully give up on the belief. She wavers daily. She goes from sagely telling me that she knows Santa is just a story and Mommy brings all of the gifts, to worrying about whether or not Santa received her letter in time. Hence the crisis – Gigi is right at that time where she is honestly trying to figure out what she believes about Santa.
I am apt to help her believe for at least this one more year. In fact, I am thinking that uses a service that sends Letters From Santa might be a nice touch to tie up loose ends this year. You personalize a letter with your child’s name and other details and they get a real letter in mail from Santa. There are different shipping options, so there is still time. I may as well help prolong Gigi’s precious childhood. Kids are growing up all too fast in our current society.
