Did she believe you or let it die? Because I dread this conversation! I already have a surprisingly hard time "lying" about Santa. so I really don't know what I'm going to do when my kids ask me if Santa is real. I don't think I can lie right to their faces, but I don't want to kill their dreams Omgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193367587292656589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701450073139687901.post-8383879151611094852009-11-28T16:29:48.128-07:002009-11-28T16:29:48.128-07:00I hated that moment ALL THREE TIMES!

He's said to me before that so-and-so doesn't think Santa is real and I always say, "Well I do," and so far he's said he does too. He even justified it by saying that parents couldn't afford to buy that many toys.
