yesterday, on x-mas day, i am driving around with my oldest daughter. she asks me, "Daddy, is Santa real?"
so i tell her, " MJ, it is ok to pretend that Santa is real, but since you asked me directly whether he is real or not, i cannot lie. NO, Santa is made up fun for the kids. Mommy and I are the ones who give you all the presents from Santa."
am i a grinch?
what would the rest of you do in a situation like this?
