I was also worried about how they would feel when they eventually find out. I know I just need to watch Miracle on 34th Street and remind myself of how beautiful it is that kids can believe so fully in magic. My 4 and 7-year-olds are firm believers, and hopefully they have a few more years in them.

My 8 year...What a lovely post....I can so relate!!<br /><br />My 8 year old son is completely into believing in Father Christmas....he hears bells, he plans what we will leave out on Christmas Eve for him to eat...we have endless conversations about him, even in the summer months LOL!!<br /><br />He's my curious child but never in all the questioning has he shown the slightest suspicion. I did wonder last Christmas if it would be the last Christmas that he would believe....but nothing has changed! His class is mostly eldest children so I wonder if that's why no older siblings have ruined the magic!!<br /><br />My 12 daughter never asked me or said anything, I think it was a gradual realisation for her....and, as is her way, she never commented. And I know she won't tell her brother.<br /><br />My son loves the whole idea of the North Pole, the elves, Santa's present making factory so much,,,,that I do already feel sad for when that time will pass.<br /><br />I love the sound of the discussion you had with your son, that sounds like a wonderful way to explain it all.<br /><br />"Polar Express" is a lovely film to watch I think, it captures the concept of the magic Christmas and believing in it so well.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!
