Parenting Humor: Kids' Letters to Santa {plus a fun way to keep the magic alive} • The Thoughtful Parent

{Do you kids still believe in Santa? I love to keep the magic alive as long as possible so I found a simple tool to help}

My 9-year-old is starting to have doubts about the reality of Santa. Kids at school talk about him “not being real” so my son has had a lot of questions. Since he has a little brother in the house, I really want to keep the Santa magic going as long as we can. Plus, I just feel that we should let kids be kids as much as we can.

I know one day he will find out that Santa is real, but not in the way he imagined. For now, however, to keep the magic going, we signed up for a simple service, Texts from Santa, to help us out. Thanks to modern technology, kids can receive personalized texts (on an adult’s phone) from Santa himself. It’s a cool little service (there is a fee) that my kids have enjoyed the last couple of years. Kids receive a text everyday and you can also receive a picture of Santa visiting your house (if you upload a picture of your living room). One simple way to add to the magic.

The folks at Timbuktu recently brought my attention to their cool blog. Every so often I will be sharing a post from them for you to enjoy.

If you are not aware, these are the same folks you brought you the wildly popular book, Bedtime Stories for Rebel Girls. They just released the sequel too!

First up today, a little comic relief with kids letters to Santa.
