Well, a few weeks before this christmas we moved into a new house, shared by a small single mum family in a separate flat downstairs. While we are generally getting along well with them, I have an additional needs daughter of 12 who has maintained her belief in Santa uninterrupted until this christmas. The mother downstairs told my daughter that Santa wasn't real it was just mum's and dad's lying to the children and putting the gifts together to put under the tree!!! I don't believe she had any right especially considering how my eldest daughter is... basically my daughter came upstairs and gave the announcement to the rest of the children (my youngest is four)!!! So upset right now.

Well we tried spinning a story, not sure if it has worked though. We did say that some people do not believe in Santa but our family does, and that he is real in that St Nick was a real person, and he is just a form of the old god Father Time.

Completely out of line however my husband and I have tried doing damage control ahead of time by teaching our 5 year old that not everyone celebrates Christmas and not everyone believes that Santa brings their presents.
