That's hilarious! With our daughter (who is now 5) we had to tell her the truth. She's super smart (blessing and a curse) and at 1 she told us she was going to cancel Christmas. Every time anyone would ask her if Santa was coming to her house she would start screaming and crying and tell them she wasn't going to have Christmas. We had to come clean on the Easter Bunny too. She was literally having anxiety attacks thinking about Santa coming into her house. Now our 1 yr old son (who doesn't understand Christmas or care) won't even go near Santa, he clings to me for dear life and he cried whenever we tried to get close. We're not sure we're even going to try to do the whole "Santa" thing with him, though it might be fun to have one believer.
