Q: My mother is a christmas fanatic. literaly, it's christmas 365 days a year. =) Ever since i was old enough to understand who santa was, i have believed in him. now, i'm turning fourteen, and i know he doesnt exist. I dont want to hurt my mom, and in some way, i still want to believe in him, for her. I love christmas so so much. not for the presents, but for the festivity, hustle and bustle, and the warmth of people at christmas. :)I don't know what to do.. I once said to her: "mom, santa doesnt exist." and she replied: " of course he exists, how do you know he doesnt, and who brought you that beautiful doll at christmas, because it certainly was not me, dad, or anyone in the family." please help. I dont know what to do. My mother is not a lunatic thank you very much. i'm an only child. my mother didnt have a very happy childhood. She does not need F**K**G medical help.
A: Your mother gave you a fantastic gift by letting you believe. Just remember the magic you felt knowing he was there!! Even at 36 it is a fantastic memory you'll never forget. One day you will understand. Santa is real, it is the magic of giving!!!
