Having the “Santa” Talk with Your Child

Good morning everyone! Well, we all made it through another week! This week was super busy for me and the stress was off the charts! My auntie is back in the nursing home and we are doing our best to cheer her up & to make her comfortable. Doctor said she is too fragile and too old to undergo surgery for all of these fractures. She is in a lot of pain and has not been too cooperative at times regarding her care.

Today’s Topic: For those who have kids…at what age do you sit down and talk with your child and explain to them that there is no Santa Claus? For those of you who have had that “talk” do you do it before the holiday or afterwards? We are not ready to have that talk just yet with Gia but we do know that the day is coming soon for it. It seems like kids figure it out or tell each other the truth sooner and sooner. Already one kid at her preschool is trying to ruin it for the other kids by telling them all that Santa is not real and that he died in a hurricane years ago. Ugh! He had the entire class crying and upset a few days ago thanks to his big mouth!
