Christmas Breakfast at Club

 
We went to a Christmas Breakfast at the Counrty Club with my Mom last Sunday. They had Santa there and the kids got the chance to sit on his lap and tell him again what they would like for Christmas. He was a great Santa and very funny. He had the best HOHOHO and CHESSE I ever heard...Afterwards, Lindsey says to Grandma,"He is not the real Santa, I could see his black wiskers through the beard, he must be an elf!" I thought that was so cute. I'm so glad they know that Santa can't be everywhere so his elves have to help out. My Tyler is at the age where you know the day is going to come when they don't believe anymore and it makes me so sad to think about but, he hasn't asked and if he does ask I don't want the girls to be around-(espically Lindsey). So, I thought I would ask him and see what he knows. I was kind of feeling him out the other night, we were just talking and I asked him if he had any questions about anything, and he says,"where do babies come from?" I said, "not that question!" He laughed. And then I said, " Do you have any questions about Christmas, Santa, etc..etc..." and he said,"NOPE!" So, I dropped it. So, honestly I don't know what he thinks. I'm sure he has his doubts but, I think he is not really going to ask or say because we have always told them once you stop believing in Santa he doesn't bring you presents anymore...
 
Lindsey checking him out and figuring out he is an elf and not the real guy. You can't put much past her. Someone told her not too long ago, that there was no Santa and that parents just buy the gifts and put them there. UGH! Made me so mad! So, I had to convice her that, that was not the case....Natalie said she told this person, "then why did I hear the reindeers on the roof??",,,I guess this other person didn't have an answer for that. When the day comes that I know my kids really know about Santa, they better know not to ruin it for another child. I think that is so cruel. Santa is the spirit of Christmas....heck I still believe...
