After all, Pokemon is such a craze that I suspect even Santa's elves have trouble obtaining the necessary copyright approval to produce rare Pokemon cards on their own. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking with it. I'm not ready for the magic of Santa to be lost in our household. Christmas morning sparkles with anticipation as the boys run to see if Santa came one more time. It's hard to watch them lose the innocence of young children.
Children grow up too quickly as it is.
I don't want them to be in too much of a hurry and miss out on the fun of just being a kid. In the meantime, they are hanging on to Santa. Last year, they took me by surprise by asking me if Santa was real. Since the conversation was taking place in the car, which seems to be where many of these topics come up, I didn't care to spill the beans right then and there. So I asked them what they thought.
