Yes, there is a Santa Claus!!
I know I am not going to get any positive responses to this but yes I do tell my kids that there is a Santa!
Children today have too much "reality" at their hands. That's just how I see it. I remember when I found out that there was no Santa. I was debating with my Mom and Dad and asking them over and over about why certain "friends" and relatives showed up at midnight and we could hear them and so my Dad just told me flat out that there was no Santa. I was NOT disappointed. I felt good about the fact that I had figured it out!
Today, I still wish I was that kid that believed that you could try your very hardest to be good all the time and see your hearts desires at the foot of a tree on a special magical day that comes once a year!
