Then when they are older I will tell them the magic is the belief that transforms you heart, and no one can prove to me that believing in miracles is a bad thing.
Sometimes our miracles are helped along by humans with divine inspriation, because the angles need some help, so the miracles of Santa and giving to others is aided by human hands.
Doesn't mean it is not real.
Santa is real in our hearts and homes, just as is the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and just as the Founding Fathers are still alive and well. Keeping the children dreaming and wide-eyed with a wonderful imagination, won't hurt them. Those are stories, vivid and fun.. I always believed in a magical world that was full of hope and dreams, and passed that on to my kids.. happy kids, very happy kids.. *<]:^)
