Yeah, I am not sure we'll make it another year with Santa, but who knows. I think our transition will be easier than yours treecritter. When DS was younger (5?) he was convinced that he was going to Hogwarts when he turned 11. Eventually he figured out that there are fiction books and non-fiction. I suspect he'll eventually come to the same conclusion with Santa.

Our typical response is "what do you think" when asked about questions about Santa and related. And at our house you'll continue to get gifts from Santa for as long as you believe smile
