Santa is just a guy in a suit

Till last year the little one was so sure that Santa was real. Even this year at the IBM party she was happy to meet "Santa"!

All it took was one careless Santa who didn't know how to wear his costume and now the magic is gone! (this was the school Santa). Eventually it would have worn out anyways, just that we were directly being approached for gifts!

LO came to me and said "Daddy, do you know? Santa is really just a guy in a costume!"

On the bright side, daddy's stock value with LO has increased now that she knows he is the real Santa.

sundar:

you should have told them that the school santa is just an actor, standing in for real santa who is repairing his sled! ;-) of course, there would be follow up questions (that's why you have a blog and readers to answer those kids' questions!).
