Santa- a figment of your imagination or so says a 5 yr old!

Pretty straight forward, yet shocking title right? So, what do you say when your five year old comes home and tell you that Santa is all in your imagination??? "Who ever told you such a thing?", "Santa in my imagination....impossible- who else will bring you presents?", " Sooooo, which little snotty nose kid told you that today; last week it was there was monsters in your closet and you couldn't sleep for days now this week- Santa isn't real....oh I've gotta meet this little kid." Despite your reaction or response, children will only believe what you embed into their little minds. Decide on a solid story, build on a memory, and create happiness most of all. Allow your children to enjoy the commercial side of Christmas, but never forgetting the reason for the season. It's a joyous time of year and remember when your kids comes home asking you is Santa real... and start with the who,what,when, and where- be ready, be on point, be believable!

Tell us a funny story when your little one found out Santa wasn't "real"!
