I think it's easier to believe in Santa b/c he appears as a real person. The easter bunny is in a crappy costume. My younger ds saw this immediatly and declared him "not the real Easter Bunny."...but for him the real one is out there.
It's not uncommon for GT kids to believe in Santa so much, even at an "older" age, that they try to convince the non-believers (almost successfully). DS7 told me this year there were lots of kids that did not believe in him, but he did. And I truly believe that he will be 8 or 9, still trying to convince the non-believers.
Well, that is until his space/time logic kicks in, which is how I determined Santa, the person, was not real.
