Since last year my now 9 year old daughter has been giving me hints that she knows he doesn't exist, reason; another girl told her, so i sat down and asked her what she thought, she said she was confused, i told her that santa exists, i didn't want to take that away from her, this morning she brought the subject up again, i asked why, she said that when we spent xmas at grandmas there was no possible way that santa could bring gifts while we were up and no one saw him i explained to her that the gifts at grandma's were from each other but that if she remembers when we got home the gifts from santa were there and no one had been home. I know that it would be selfish to tell her the truth if she is not yet sure, but this year we have had financial issues and we are stretching as much as we can, i know that if i explained things to her she would understand and maybe not be so expectant on things....what should i do?, she's so understanding but then taking that from her?
