<\/p>\"\"<\/a>Although we \u201cneither confirm nor deny\u201d the existence of Santa Claus, I still think that it\u2019s sweet that my 5-year-old son Sean still \u201ckind of\u201d believes in him. It definitely keeps me on my toes during the holiday season.\n

\u201cSo, how is Santa going to drop off presents since we don\u2019t have a chimney?\u201d- Sean<\/strong><\/em>
\n <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do YOU think?\u201d \u2013 My response<\/strong><\/em>
\n(Safe! We had just watched The Santa Claus<\/em> so he came up with his thoughts based on the movie.)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Later, I slipped and answered a question by saying, \u201cWell, we\u2019re going to make sure that each of you only get three gifts from us but it\u2019s fine if you get gifts from other family and friends.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
\n <\/strong><\/em>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean 3 gifts from YOU and DADDY?\u201d \u2013 Sean<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOoh, look at the tree. It\u2019s so pretty.\u201d \u2013 Me<\/strong><\/em>
\n(Thankfully, the redirect worked\u2026or he just humored me.)<\/p>\n

I really think that Sean knows the truth about the existence of Santa Clause already, but that he wants to humor us<\/strong><\/span> for a little while longer. Kids today are so bright and quick-minded (?!) If not\u2026forget about other kids ruining it for him. I\u2019m SO going to accidentally spill the beans<\/p><\/div>\n
