My oldest daughter is 6. I'm guessing some little kid will soon tell her that Santa isn't real. Should I wait for that, or tell her myself after Christmas. I was thinking of telling her that Santa is real in our hearts, that kind of thing, not just...hahaha, we fooled you.

Tell her Santa Claus is coming to town at the end of next weekend.
Don't tell her the truth until she's at least in her tweenage years. 11-13

Are you sure she hasn't already heard or figured out that 'Santa isn't real' and is fooling you much as you fooled her? Word gets around early these days, and kids want the presents to keep coming.
Why wait for her bubble to be burst, perhaps undermining your credibility and her trust?

I wouldn't tell her yet. It's part of the childhood fun knowing that Santa is "real." If you tell her, she may go spread the word just ruining other children's Christmas.
There's no harm in not knowing he's not real, and I don't think she'd 100% understand the concept of him not being real yet :)
Merry Christmas!

I have a 9 year old who still wonders....and I'm fine with that.
Let your daughter come to you first but don't reveal this information to her before she's ready. Kids are forced to grow up SO fast and I see nothing wrong with allowing them to believe in magic just a little longer...

Just let her figure it out on her own. I remember sneaking a look down the stairs to catch my parents putting out our presents. On Christmas morning, one of the presents I saw them put out said "from Santa". I wasn't hurt or devastated....it's all just part of growing up.

My daughter is 8 and still believes. She has been told by some other kids he is not real but she does not believe them. What harm is letting her believe doing?

Tell her the truth
I told my 5 year old when he was just 4.
My 7 year old daughter figured it out by herself when she was 3---she saw Santa driving a car to our house. Plus, she asked "why did Santa brought us Wal-Mart toys"

Well, my son is 3 and I already told him the truth because I'm not giving credit to some fat dude for all of my hard work that I do to buy my son what he wants.

just tell her that santa is our way of saying we love people by giving the presents, but that the best present of all is Jesus, and how God gave us Jesus, which is the whole reason why we celebrate CHRISTmas, because of CHRIST!!
