Dear Santa....

This is Marlie's letter to Santa that
she wrote in school today!!
(i hope you can read it)

She is so cute, but at what age do you tell your kids about

santa??? So many people have told me that she needs to know so

she doesn't get made fun of at school, but she is so into the magic

of christmas, I know it will break her heart when she learns about it!!!

I am for sure not telling her before this christmas, but should I tell her after??

So sad to break your childs heart!!!

That is SO cute!! I was never told I just found out from cousins and friends and it went smoothly for me. I would let her enjoy the magic for as long as she can!!

I think I learned at two. I asked my dad and told him not to lie to me, so he didn't! I'm awful, I know.

I say you let her figure it out all on her own. Kids grow up too fast no need to rush it. I remember when I found out. I found a bunch of presents under my parents bed and then those same presents were under the tree so I deduced it on my own. I was probably 10.

OH my gosh, that is the cutest thing ever! What a sweet girl. I can't remember when I found out. Truthfully, whenever I watch a Christmas movie, I totally still believe. You HAVE to believe no matter what age, it just makes it more fun and magical. (Totally sappy, I know.) :)

She's adorable and such a joy to have at activity days. I'm wondering the same thing right now with Caleb. It seems as though he's getting a little skeptical. It makes me sad.

that is the sweetest thing ever. like really it breaks my heart that kids have to find out santa is not real, because honestly there is a certain magic the season brings with believing!

I would play along with it, leave her a note from Santa.

So cute! Jayci came home a few weeks ago to tell us that she knows. But, she said that she still believes so she won't upset Alex. We feel that it's about time she learns this-I say just let her continue to believe until she comes to her own decision.

What a cute letter! I say let her believe until she doesn't any more. Every kid figures it out on their own eventually. She will too. Your kids are darling!
