This year he decided to get a present for Santa and put it under the tree (a hat for one of santa's elves because he figures that they can use it and pointed out that poor santa never gets presents).
That is so sweet! Yummy!
DS8 just asked me yesterday what he ought to get for Santa this year. Since he's never gotten Santa anything before, I'm not sure what he has in mind! We do leave cookies for Santa, but not gifts. On the other hand, he ran around at DD4's Christmas program telling everyone that Santa (who paid a visit after the singing and handed out little gifts) was his dad, which was true but also not very helpful, LOL!
In my family, we keep Santa going for as long as there is someone who wants to believe -- and since that includes me, it's going to be a while!
Last year, I told DS8 that once you don't believe in Santa, you get to be Santa for the littler ones such as DD4, and he seemed likely to be giving it up at that point, but then he hedged his bets and came back around. I think he's still on the fence this year.
