Does anybody else feel guilty lying to your kids about Santa? I never celebrated Christmas as a child so the whole Santa thing is a bit foreign for me. (My parents were Jehovah's Witnesses) This is the first year Hadley can really understand the whole concept of Christmas so I've probably gone overboard explaining the basic traditions, talking about Santa, etc. I just feel like I never had this experience and now that she really gets it, I want her to have an amazing Christmas. I don't know...I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing! I had never even read The Night Before Christmas until now, I don't know all the reindeer's names, and I'm pretty sure the only Christmas song I know by heart is Jingle Bells. Anyway, I still feel guilty for lying. What's she going to do when she finds out it's all a big fat lie? Will I scar her for life? Neil says finding out that Santa wasn't real was not a defining moment in his life. I'm just hoping Hadley feels the same way.
