He told me one day that he can't stand it for someone to lie to him. When the question about Santa came up, I couldn't lie to him. I was also afraid that he wouldn't believe me about God if he thought I could lie about Santa. I felt badly about lying to my older birth children when they were little as well. So we just don't do Santa. We explain that it is fun for some families, like a fairy tale...We don't do the Easter Bunny either, but we do have baskets that he knows we hide....We are waiting and waiting to see if the Chinese government gives us the ok to adopt a little special needs angel who has cerebral palsy. We should know by Christmas!! Keep us in your prayers, please!!
