It will be a sad day when my kiddo's no longer believe. Tanner has questioned a few things this year, and even a few kids have told him that Santa is not real, but he is still hanging on. He said a kid at school said he didn't believe in Santa, I asked him what he thinks about that and what he said to him and he said "If you don't believe you don't receive!" I had told him that a long time ago and he remembered. He has asked why all santa's don't look alike and I say he is a busy guy and has lots of helpers and we can even be helpers to those who are in need. I feel bad, kind of like I am lying to them, but really I guess I am just trying to keep the excitement of Christmas and believing alive. Last year our good friends gave us "An Elf on a Shelf," we named him Sugaray, and it has been fun last year and this year to see the kids wake up to find the elf; as the elf moves each night from his visits to Santa then back to watch. On Christmas eve I took a picture of the kids with our elf and they said goodbye as he would go and live with Santa until next year when he shows up again to see if the kids are being naughty or nice.
