Aparently, there are 11 and 12 year olds who still believe in Santa. lol <br /><br />Thanks for the great stories. :] love, Kelly from Kentucky/OhioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-46415589137156619922011-12-28T14:56:38.857-05:002011-12-28T14:56:38.857-05:00Hmm sounds like Brittney on "Glee" has a...Hmm sounds like Brittney on "Glee" has a lot more company in the "Santa believer" dept than I think their writers 1st thought!<br />Barb I'm SHURE your gals forgave u- eventually!<br /><br />but Deb - I'm afraid Luke has been scarred for life- whatever did u do about the tooth fairy?<br />I mean that was a major source of funds in my youth!SharonReinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-82534153278666504632011-12-27T15:10:36.884-05:002011-12-27T15:10:36.884-05:00LOL!!

She knows the truth but prefers the fiction..which is just okey dokey smokey with me!! I dont believe in ONLY things I can see and touch...I think there's a whole bunch out there we just have to know in our heart.!<br />Love you guys<br />MelodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-16326346733785956242011-12-27T14:39:24.358-05:002011-12-27T14:39:24.358-05:00Madge, that's too bad about the weather!

Watched it all the time. <br />No one really ever told me that Santa wasn't real, I actually figured it out when I was really young and that was that. I had a conversation with my grandmother that went something like this: <br />Me: Is Santa real? Can he really do all that stuff in one night? Can reindeer really fly? (I never really believed in the elves thing, so I didn't bother asking about that one)<br />Grandmother: What do you think?<br />Me: No.<br />Conversation over.<br /><br />I was always a realist as a child; Easter Bunny kind of freaked me out. Even after figuring out the whole Santa thing, I still played along so I wouldn't ruin it for my friends and parents.Stephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-51499168906328078442011-12-27T13:26:14.447-05:002011-12-27T13:26:14.447-05:00Two really cute stories....Barb Thanks for sharing...Two really cute stories....Barb Thanks for sharing.... i missed this story when you guys shared it the last time......!!!!

I loved it!! How vulnerable we are as mothers and how we can inflict such guilt on ourselves if we don't get it 'Just right". This show the depth of love and caring , tow wonderful women and mothers. I'll raise an eggnog to you both, thank you for sharing those stories.Mary-Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192923965181568889noreply@blogger.com
