a little sad

well, there was a lot of talk at miles' school, and today he asked me point blank if santa was real--and i told him no. he had been fighting against the school rumors by almost feverishly making gifts for santa the last few days. it feels strange seeing the "merry christmas santa" shrinky dink ornament made only 2 days ago by this now non-believing child of mine. i don't remember ever believing in santa claus, but miles has always seemed pretty innocent. then mid-day his first tooth fell out. the tooth fairy is real, right? he asked. i said sure, but felt that maybe he was just hoping that is what i would say.

the whole world of giants and santas and dragons and tooth fairies and easter bunnies, how can in crumble in one day? i guess these things do not have a firm foundation. what will take their place? i am a little sad.

We haven't hit that point yet. Our older daughter is always looking for proof - she doesn't seem to have worked out that her parents are responsible for the stockings. The contradictory thing is that we let her carry on believing in Father Christmas and the tooth fairy but have told her when asked that neither of her parents believe in God. Oh well, who said parents had to be consistent or know what they are doing!

Dear Jamie,
After 2 years of - or 3 - of firmly not believing, Emily has changed her tune and has a logical explanation for all the surplus Santas - they are regional, working for Santa in the north pole.
Sometimes Santa is just the spirit of Xmas.
Sometimes Santa is the person who magically fills stockings.
But the desire for magic is always there!
