I just made the same mistake myself-my girls gave me huge written out lists some with pictures. Its not silly telling your son about Father Christmas-its fun and you are only young once. When I was young I always wanted the Malibu Barbie-I thought she was awesome, I never did get it though,sad! When I was a teen it was all make-up,clothes and books. Brings back some nice memories-Merry Christmas to you and your family!

You know, I was wondering the same thing - should I tell my daughter about Father Christmas, or not even start her with it. I remember the disappointment when I found out the truth from my sister, and the embarrassment when I found out I was the only one in 4th grade who still believed. I'd hate to share that 'lie' with my child, and have her distrust me like I did with my parents, even if it is only for a little while.
But then again - I remember all the excitement of waiting for Christmas, and getting to see him in the Christmas parades, and at the mall, etc. I just thought he could read my mind, and I loved it. My list was always filled with Barbie - and the car, house, boat, furniture, anything associated with her. I remember not getting what I asked for one year, but having a note explaining why. I knew the handwriting looked familiar, but didn't catch on until after finding out. We all laugh about it now.
My daughter's currently two, and know's the idea of him, but hasn't started the 'true' believing yet. I don't want her to miss the fun of believing, so I'll probably go that route as well.
Best of luck!

First off I don't think it is silly. This is what being a kid is all about believing in things that aren't real. He wil grow up soon enough and figure out the truth for himself so enjoy it while you can. My husband and I swore we wouldn't do the Santa thing with our child and hummm what are we doing-hehe. It just sorta happened. She knows what the real meaning is, but also likes to do the asking of Santa thing. I believed when I was a kid so why not let my daughter too. Stocking where the huge thing in my house. I always looked forward to getting that darn orange, apple, nuts, and all the little goodies. I really didn't ask for much during those years of growing up because we didn't have much. My daughter has said for 2 months now that she wants the Polly Pocket Rockin theme park. I think Santa might brings her one this year-hehe.

I have 4 children of my own and have fostered a lot of children since I was 30 (now 50), I have a new foster daughter aged 12 (long story but she will be staying with us permanent). Sadly some of the children I have had over Christmas periods didn't even know it was a special day or that Father Christmas even existed (which he does), we were shocked at this & could not believe how cruel people could be, so let your littleone believe as long as possible and treasure every single bit of excitment he shows on Christmas Day, he will remember all his life how special his childhood was......My best pressie was a Tressie doll, her hair pulled out to long or you could have it short by winding the hair back in from a winder on her back

I always wanted dolls, you know the kind that ate and messed it's diapers. As I got older of course music.
There is nothing wrong with letting you child think there is a Father Christmas, I wish my 10 year old stepdaughter still believed, but her mom told her when she was 7. (what a shame)

there is a father Christmas what are you talking about.. I'm not sure how that was a mistake.. you can get him a remote controlled darlect... I had a horse on my list for about 5 years never got it though . I always got small gifts like bean bags and cd's I preferred lots of small pressys to 1 big one

Why not try and get him to narrow it down a little, ask him which he would prefer out of a few things from his list, as everyone knows they spend more time playing with the boxes so don't waste your money.
Spending money is not showing love, don't get the two confused.
And hey, remember:
(1) only the best people have stalkers.
and (2) what a sad little meaningless life she must have to fill it with chasing you around.

My son is the same and wants all Star Wars toys but i know this could change into Spiderman etc so ask him about 3 weeks before so you don't waste a load of money on toys he will have changed his mind about, that the problem with kids!!!!

Mine was barbies, care bears and dolls. I loved barbies as a child. Also care bears, i had everything you could imagine bout in my room from duvet set, curtains to wall paper. Also there aint nothing wrong with keeping the childs dream about santa alive. It broke my heart wen my sis told me it was mum and dad.

father christmas is real.. but hes only got limited toys, one for every good boy and girl. santa brings one present per child, mum and dad, aunties uncles and friends buy the rest...
and believe me, our kids (4) were told that, and they were quite happy. and if you cant get whatever you want, put a special letter from santa...and you can go and collect it from teh shops on boxing day... (big adventure for youngsters)
i know this works, once we faked an email from teh tooth fairy... sorry i missed you..but according to our records that tooth want due out till tommorow... maybe you waggled it?
see you tommorow... luv Toothy.
oh the things we do as parents...
