So far we have avoided directly answering when asked...and luckily our older foster kids have been supportive saying things like "Santa won't bring presents if you don't believe - "Mama Drama Times Twohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935810256080795505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089815220320099212.post-45083622636670689092010-03-17T12:16:43.318-07:002010-03-17T12:16:43.318-07:00From a different perspective, I grew up never beli...From a different perspective, I grew up never believing "in" Santa et al but always enjoying the fun of these make believe characters. We always talked about him and the Easter bunny, etc., and would go through all the rituals, but we always knew it was my parents. As a result, there was never any let down, and my parents were able to focus even more on the real meanings of each holiday. (For some reason they let us believe in the Tooth Fairy, though. funny. Maybe because she isn't related to anything religious?)...<br />Anyways, my point is, knowing the truth doesn't have to squash the fun. :o)Brittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988209989541968262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089815220320099212.post-35134564735591117172010-03-17T05:48:31.250-07:002010-03-17T05:48:31.250-07:00we have one who knows and one who does not, someti...we have one who knows and one who does not, sometimes it is a challenge for him not to spill the beans but he has managed so far.

So my sister and I still believe.
