How to keep the Santa magic alive when the kids start questioning things
OK, so you’re telling us that one man, and an old one at that, flies all around the world in one night? And his sleigh, pulled by flying reindeer, is piled with enough presents for all the (good) kids in the world? Even allowing for time zones and such, that’s quite the claim. The seemingly magic appearance of presents on Christmas morning coupled with a visit to your local mall’s Santa may be enough to convince the smaller ones in your bunch, but as your kids start developing those deductive reasoning skills, they just might start doubting ol’ Saint Nick’s veracity.
So you lie. No biggie. You tell them that Santa Claus is able to fly around the world in one night delivering toys to good girls and boys because he’s magic. And if they ask for proof, well, who eats those cookies you leave out for Santa if he’s not real?
