Friday night at like 1045 Logan pulled a tooth, and I had NO cash or NO change at all. So I ended up telling her that there was no tooth fairy. She is in fifth grade I thought it was about time anay way. She didn't believe me at all, so i had to show her the baggy with all her baby teeth in it. She was so hurt.

Rick decided that it was time to tell her about the bunny with the money and Santa. This totally devasted her. I had to show her the Christmas computer paper that I wrote the letters on, told her we kept the deer hair and left it in the door, that the reindeer pooh was really cajon seasoning and cocoa powder, the deer prints were dog prints and the letters left were actually written by Rick. I found a piece of paper that she wrote I do believe I do believe a million times on in her room. She is so nieve about this i was afraid she would get picked on in school if she didn't find out soon, but I wanted to wait until after this Christmas.

On the bright side we told her as long as she keeps her mouth shut to Colten she will still get the extra presents. If she blows it, it will be her loss as well.

When my children began to learn about Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, etc., and asked me about it, what I did was to ask them if they wanted there to be a Santa Claus, etc. --- and told them that as long as they liked the Santa Claus, etc. "game" there would still be a Santa Claus, etc. My kids are all grown now, but we still play the game. And every Christmas there are stockings hung for all family members --- and everyone in the family does a sneak on Christmas eve to put things in all the stockings.

Yes, Donna...That is the way my parents handled it. Until I moved out of my parents home, there were always stockings hung by the chimney with care. In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. It kept the magic of Christmas alive for me even though I knew where the stuff in my stocking came from.
