HOW can I break the news about Santa to an older child but with a soft & happy landing? We still need to keep the dream alive for younger siblings!

      This is a cute book that walks kids through the idea that the Santa who flies around the world and delivers gifts isn’t real, but the magic of Santa is very real and it comes from all of us!

        I usually wait until my kids ask me if Santa is real. Then I ask them what do you think? If they say no, I say you are right. And we keep it a secret to make their siblings Christmas special. And I involve them in creating a special Christmas for their younger siblings. I always bring it back to how special kids are and how we celebrate Jesus’ birth and how much he loves children. Our Christmas is always centered in Christ.
