It just came out of the blue…
I knew that it would be coming…
Just not sure when…
But I wasn’t prepared for it…
While chatting with my eldest (who’s 10) she asked me if Father Christmas was real or not??
I took a deep breath and asked her what she thought. To which she replied
“No I don’t think he is.”
If the room was quieter I think you would have heard my heart breaking.
I didn’t know what to say, I knew that it was right too tell her the truth and that she could take the truth.
A while back I remembered I was looking on Facebook I came across this and had to take a picture of it so that I could keep it for well a day like today.
I thought that this was a nice way to explain it rather than just telling her that No Father Christmas wasn’t real and too help keep that spirit of Christmas going.
It also means that she is growing up which is happening far to fast for my liking.
Now I am holding on to my youngest believing for the next 20 years haha.
