What shall I tell my sister about Santa Claus?

My sister’s 9 years old.. and she’s beginning to doubt the existence of Santa Claus. She keeps asking me things, trying to get the truth out of me. But when I found out the truth.. it ruined my christmas! It didn’t seem as magical! And my christmasses have never really been the same since! I don’t know what to do? I know that if I don’t tell her, one of her friends at school will.. But I don’t want to be the one to ruin it for her! Should I tell her? What do you think?

Answer #3

dont tell her that santa isnt real it ruined my christmas when my sis told me just play along and tell her that if she doesnt believe he wont come it works for my lil bro who is about the same ageit wont be the same for her if you tell her

Answer #4

Try this: Tell her you’re both going to stay up the night between 24th and 25th and observe. Tell her she’s going to find out the truth that way. Tell her you did it too, when you were her age and tell her you want her to see it for herself, cause you think she won’t believe you.

Then go and secretly talk to your parents. Either, they’ll pay a neighbor to play Santa in a costume. She’ll have another fairy-tale christmas. Or they think she’s old enough to know and they’ll let her see that they are the ones who bring the presents. Leave the decision to mom an dad.

If youf sis falls asleep during the night-watch (a 9 yr old might be too tired to make it till morning) and she doesn’t see the truth, tell her she’ll have to wait for next christmas.

Answer #5

let her find out for herself or it could ruin her xmas

tell your mom and dad about her questions and I bet they know how to make her belive he is real :)

maybe you could do some reading up on saint nicolas and tell her about him and why he went (still does) around on the 24th december giving children presents :)

Answer #6

Start off by understanding the origins of the jolly old man. My son started to ask me about Santa Clause when he was about 4, so I told him the story of St. Nicholas, that he was a real person and Santa Clause just a story to help kids to know him (Nicholas) better. The idea of Santa Clause was to spread peace and joy through goodwill and understanding. All children should be told that being selfish and naughty isn’t the right thing to do. Giving without the expectation to receive in return is what we should all be taught. http://www.stnicholascenter.org/Brix?pageID=35

Answer #7

Talk to your parents and see what they think. If they think it’s time then tell her. I personally don’t see the point in having kids believe in Santa Claus. When I found out he wasn’t real I was just mad at my mom for making me believe something like that. And you never know, your sister might be ready to know the truth.
