Father Christmas

He's only 7 1/2 weeks old, and I'm already obsessing about how I'm going to tell him there is no Santa. How did I get caught up in perpetuating this age-old lie? Or will I? Will Christmas lose its magic if I tell him the truth? I look into his bright little eyes and I am torn. I can't take the magic out of Christmas for him, but I don't want to lie to him either.

This same question has probably tortured parents for decades, centuries... eventually he will learn the truth. Will he lose faith in other things that he can't see. Will he feel hurt and betrayed?

Which will make me a better mother?

AAAAAGHHHHH!
