yes it doesn't get the same kudos as the likes of Still Game did, my english Cousins love Two Doors Down too, although sometimes need the subtitles on, there is a new series just out and all episodes are available on Iplayer
I think if you feel you need to have a conversation about it, then I might just explain that whilst santa as a figure isn't real he represents a feeling of Christmas magic and the spirit of giving. But then explain that the important thing now that he knows is not to ever spoil it for anyone who does believe.We went to see Father Christmas today. When we got home my 10 year old son said "I know Santa isn't actually real"
He happily sent his letter off last week and happily saw him today and was speaking to him so I think he's still on the fence. Knows but wants to believe. This will definitely be our last year and it hurts my heart.
I just kind of brushed it off and said wellll if you don't believe then you might not get any presents.
Any tips on how to handle this conversation if and when it crops up again? I would really appreciate it
But. But
let them enjoy the magic for as long as possibleThere are a tonne of really wonderful letters out there that you can either buy (or copy!). This worked really well with my eldest when he had two younger siblings and I didn’t want him to ruin it for them.We went to see Father Christmas today.

P.S just Google ‘letter Father Christmas child who doesn’t believe’ or suchlike
Yeah, it beat what I was planning which was “Ok, you’re right, Father Christmas isn’t real smart arse. Now don’t go ruining it for your sisters you little turd.”That letter is so lovely, I feel a bit teary now
Have had this with my kids. 10 years old is a very normal age for them to figure it out and I don’t think you should lie if they do. You certainly don’t want them ending up in year 7 of secondary still believing as it might lead to them being mocked, sadly. When mine have figured it out I’ve just kind of said ‘you’re right, he isn’t real, but Christmas won’t be any different or any less magical.’ I can’t honestly say the magic has been lost since they realised he isn’t real, we have still had lovely christmases, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to lie to them when they’ve worked it out, especially at age 10. Most kids won’t believe still by that point.We went to see Father Christmas today. When we got home my 10 year old son said "I know Santa isn't actually real"

Thanks so much- that’s really kind but it’s okay
