You know about Santa?

conulyHow Ana and Evangeline know Santa is fun to pretend, and we can pretend, but it's no more real than pretending princess or "wermaid" or firefighter?
It's definitely the best approach for Ana. Ana very much doesn't like feeling like the butt of the joke, and I'm certain that if she took the typical approach to finding The Truth of Santa she'd feel crushed and convinced that somehow we were all laughing at her the whole time.
You should have heard her response when I inadvertantly giggled the day she announced "I am a happy and loving child" at dinner. "I AM! I AM A HAPPY AND LOVING CHILD!" *glareglareglare* *burst into tears*
Evangeline just about fell out of her chair running to both hug her sister and condemn me. "Don't laugh at MY SISTER. You made her CRY."
*sigh*
So yes. Pretending on Santa? Ultimately, that would've been a bad idea. Dodged a bullet there.
