I truthfully don't see the harm in it? I was raised where we made lists, visited Santa at the mall (when we were younger), sang the songs, put out reindeer food. It didn't scare either of us :)</p> <p>DH wasn't raised with ANY holidays, so he's just like a little kid. It's so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home/page/2#post-998676 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:59:03 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 998676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I know right!?

But Santa is apparently allowed to visit LO at my parent's house or at my brother's house when we go there for the holidays... So we will see how long it takes him to realize there is no "real" Santa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home/page/2#post-998648 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:52:10 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 998648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man I just had a flashback to when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I KNEW already at that point (for a while), but I think the new(er) Miracle on 34th Street movie had just come out, and I was struggling with wanting him to be real. So I wrote a letter. Well, it turns out someone at my school's mom worked at the post office, and totally outed me! OMG. lol I think I tried to play it off like it was a joke.....oy. </p> <p>But anyway, love that Santa still visits so many of us ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home/page/2#post-998636 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:49:59 +0000 Boheme 998636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't sure yet! I grew up in a Santa house, DH didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998588 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:40:52 +0000 swurlygurl 998588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, we will definitely have Santa! I believed for WAY too long (I hope I was really just wanting to be in denial about it, and that I didn't *really* believe). My sister who is 4 years younger than me accepted the truth before I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998373 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:14:53 +0000 sslm 998373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will definitely had Santa! LO will only be 8 months old and I'm pretty sure she'll have gifts from Santa this year... It's a fun tradition. I don't even remember when I knew he wasn't real, so it definitely didn't scar me for life or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998357 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:08:27 +0000 MamaBehr 998357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh we have Santa in our house! DD is three this year and will totally understand what is going on, I'm so excited for Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998338 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:03:29 +0000 Ra 998338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 29-years-old and all of my presents still come from Santa! There was nothing better than running down the stairs Christmas morning to see if Santa came. I cannot wait to share that joy with B! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998337 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:03:20 +0000 Charm54 998337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa will definitely live on in our house!! I love the magic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998328 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:01:20 +0000 Koolbreeze 998328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes Santa is real! I love Santa!! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998315 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:56:03 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 998315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: If my kid shared that Santa wasn't real or they didn't believe I would be okay with that. Half my friends growing up were Jewish and not believing in Santa was quite common. Even when my bestie told me she found her presents I chalked it up to Santa just not visiting *her* anymore. </p> <p> @JerricaBenton: In my house Christmas was completely secular. In DH's house it was all religious and that's why they didn't have Santa. I'm surprised they still celebrated it in winter and not in the Spring for Jesus' actual birth. My MIL was shocked to learn just how secular a family (mine :-) could make the holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998313 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:54:29 +0000 Dandelion 998313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: My MIL still says that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998310 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:53:04 +0000 Dandelion 998310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS still believes, and since he just lost his first tooth, he believes in the tooth fairy, too. Also Easter Bunny.</p> <p>I'll leave it up to peers to let him know, cause I don't have the heart to tell him it was all fake, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998306 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:50:44 +0000 heffalump 998306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is an argument in our house. We're Jewish, so no santa won't come to our house. But I would like LO to think there is a santa just so she doesn't blab to other kiddos. DH thinks that we can simply explain to her that he's fake and tell her not to tell her friends. Meanwhile, his brother ruined it for everyone when they were younger and his mom had to go house to house apologizing for him. I don't want to be that mother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998302 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:49:43 +0000 Smurfette 998302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: My Mom still has a tshirt that she wears around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998288 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:43:55 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 998288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: same! We still get presents from Santa!</p> <p>My nana hangs a stocking in her fireplace &amp; tells the kids that Santa left it behind. They always get a kick out of it :)</p> <p>Santa absolutely comes to our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998279 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:37:11 +0000 JerricaBenton 998279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yup my mom still says that! She has this picture she hangs up that says something to that effect lol. </p> <p>I grew up with Santa and it was so fun, even though I figured it out pretty quickly. I still loved to pretend and play along for my brother (and my parents lol.) We still understood the reason for Christmas and didn't confuse Santa with the religious aspect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998271 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:33:12 +0000 Weagle 998271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We won't really make a big deal about Santa, and if asked we'll take the same approach as @Rainbow Sprinkles: 's family. That it's fun to pretend. But we will teach our kids not to ruin it for other kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998268 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:30:03 +0000 MrsTiz 998268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: haha same. My parents still give my adult sister and I presents from Santa.</p> <p>Santa is absolutely going to be alive in our house, DH and I are both really looking forward to it. It's such a magical part of holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998266 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:28:33 +0000 GrapeCrush 998266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa will be real in our house. Both DH and I had Santa and I LOVE seeing my niece and nephews faces when they get excited about Santa coming, or telling what he got them. I can't wait for our children to get to that age, and will probably be sad when they stop believing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998265 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:28:23 +0000 ElbieKay 998265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Jewish, so no gifts from Santa in my house growing up. My husband is pretty secular (as am I) but comes from a Christian background and really likes Christmas. Not sure what his views are on the realities of Santa but I suspect he will not make any appearances in our house. We are not big gift people anyway and do not exchange gifts with each other. Not sure what sort of gift-giving traditions we will assume with our child when it makes its appearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998213 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 05:17:27 +0000 Bao 998213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa still comes to our house, he's so real :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998208 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 04:51:07 +0000 Smurfette 998208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: :happy: seriously brings some "magic" to the season </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-santa-real-in-your-home#post-998154 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:59:41 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 998154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait, what.....?
