Re: Santa

[lunabee34]

this was pretty much our experience too.

Emma believed in Santa Claus and then she started to wonder and then she straight up asked and we told her the truth and she was all, okay. LOL A few days later, she came up to me and said, "This explains a lot about the Tooth Fairy." (I'd always forget to put her tooth fairy money under her pillow, and then I'd have to palm some change and pretend the tooth fairy was bad at her job and had put it under a toy or on the dresser or something LOL).

I'm sure that this is some people's experience, but I have never known anyone in real life who was upset or traumatized by finding out that Santa isn't real.

I found out the tooth fairy wasn't real a lot sooner than Santa through scientific experimentation.

The times I lost a tooth and made a big fuss (OMG MOM LOOK I LOST A TOOTH), there'd be change underneath my pillow the next morning. The times I kept it secret, there wasn't.

Felt slightly disappointed at that, but the accomplishment of discovery made up for it.

dude, that is so awesome. You were using the scientific process as a kid, complete with independent and dependent variables. :D I like the way you think.

Re: Santa

haha, actually my "enlightenment" started with the tooth fairy because my mom was a bit lax about making sure I was asleep before doing the exchange one night.

Maybe part of the reason it wasn't upsetting was realizing hey, this is all actually my parents doing really nice things for me and giving me cool things. Didn't take long to make the connection with Santa and the Easter Bunny too (catalyzed by the realization that the wrapping paper we stored in our house somehow managed to be all the same patterns Santa was using to wrap our gifts). It didn't change the outcome, and it didn't really change the way I felt about the holidays. I never felt lied to; I assumed it was just a thing all parents did.

Heeee!
Oh, man, i forgot a couple times, too - you feel so awful! But it was fun to write notes. The Bebe always wrote notes to the tooth fairy and to santa, too.

One time i forgot the easter basket and had to duck outside and do it up and go 'oh, look, he left it in the flower bed, he must have thought you needed to go outside!
