LOL. My mom was visiting us when my 5 year old asked about Santa. I explained with a stone cold face that Santa isn't real, presents come from mom and dad, and instead of waiting for Xmas we just get her things when she needs them, and that's why she didn't get anything for Xmas while her friends did. My mom was petrified, but my daughter didn't seem to care. Kids are really okay with adult stuff, there is more than one way to sparkle delight in their life, and it doesn't have to be Santa (imo).
