Misc Is my kiddo too old for Santa? - Page 2

My kiddo is 8 (hard to believe, right?) and in 3rd grade. I feel like we could get by with the Santa thing one more Christmas, but I don't want to be the parent taking the big kid to see Santa, ya know?

Our Santa tradition includes:
Going to see him
Me sending a letter from Santa with a Certificate of Nice List shortly after visit
Leaving milk and cookies with a thank you note Christmas Eve
Having one Santa gift Christmas morning (the one thing he asked for, which is never too expensive or too cheap)

What do you think? Tell him the truth now or give him one last Christmas with Santa?

Let him discover the truth by himself. Come clean only if he asks.

From my wife (a 2nd grade teacher), most find out in 3rd grade but some do in 2nd grade. Always at recess or lunch.

Why stop? Keep creating the magic

If Crave can believe he went to Belize, your kid can believe in Santa.

Agree with pretty much everyone else on this one. Let them have the magic as long as they'll accept it.

Definitely not. Let him enjoy his imagination for a few more years.

TheGuardian believes in Santa but doesn't believe in Mahomes.

If your big kid wants to go, go.
Please stop giving a shit what random strangers in a mall think.

Because I enjoy Christmas, I've always said let the kids hold onto the magic as long as possible.

How are your kids that old? Of course, the last time we all hung out, I didn't even have one. :-)

My husband likes to put all of the presents he wraps for him from Santa. This is why I'm in charge of wrapping.

I never understood how it's better to say a make-believe man gave these gifts to you instead of saying they're from real people who love you.
