When she sincerely wants the truth, she will ask you. You didn't mention her age, but they always (for a year or so) convince themselves that he is real. Let her have her fantasy until she asks for the truth, then tell her.

I am a mother of four and my oldest is nine........I think we are in the same boat here. He hasn't really said anything and I think it is because he is protecting my feelings and thinks it will make me sad if he knows so this year I made it a point to say that at our house, Santa is real but only to those who believe. He hasn't said anything but just gives me that look when I talk about it with his younger sisters like whatever mom and kind of grins. I think he knows but I would never ever tell him that he isn't until the day he comes to me and tells me that it is over for him and then I will have to hope that he doesn't say anything to the other kids. I would just say that as long as you believe he will never stop coming.

**You mean to tell me that he is not real??** LOL jk
My 7 yr old knows too..but she does not really ask. She did once, and I asked her what she thought..her answer was this: I believe in the spirit of Santa, so I believe.
I just let it go at that. Kids are alot smarter than what we grown ups give them credit for. She knows, maybe she just does not want it to be true. I also made sure to let my daughter know, in little ways, that even if she did not believe in santa, she would still get her gifts. lol That was a big deal to her.
Good luck!

If you really love the joy of kids believing in Santa- then DON'T tell her! Wait for her to come to you and say something. In the meantime, play it cool. I actually produced notes from Santa one year thanking the kids for the cookies and milk (and found a certificate that declared me as an official "elf" ). ;-)

Figure out how old she is and if she is in her teens than go along with her and ask her what she wants for Christmas and if she ever brings up santa cluas than just tell her the truth.

Let her come to you and ask about Santa when she is ready until then just keep going along with the idea that he is real, its much more fun that way.

Santa not real blasphemy!!! That's what I said when my son came to me and informed me that he had some bad news that was going to upset me.......Santa wasn't real. It was grandma!
ha ha
Relax. You are a great mom and when the time comes and your child approaches you with the facts...........you will do a fine job because you love her and want what is best.

Let her believe until she is old enough to know herself. Keep her happy as long as she believes in Santa.

Why not explain that Santa Claus is a wonderful concept and not a living person.

Why bring it up if she hasn't said it? Maybe she does still believe, don't just assume she doesn't and then break her little heart by saying he's not real.
