Santa no more

She doesn't believe in Santa anymore. :(

This came as a huge shock to me.  I'd been looking forward to doing elf-on-the-shelf this year and of course all the santa traditions.  When I found out she doesn't believe anymore, I was completely crushed.  I'm just not ready.

She sais "I know Santa isn't real because there is no such thing as flying reindeer."  I tried to respark the  wonder by pointing out that Santa is magic and he can make any reindeer fly - she played along, but in the end, no luck. She did say she wants to still do "all the stuff" and pretend for the fun of it.  That sounds good to me.

I can tell she feels good now that she's "in the know".
