We still believe in Santa around here!! My DGS is 11 and developmentally delayed. He's very bright, and we've handled many questions and issues. His house didn't have a fireplace and that was a real concern. We got him a Santa key to hang out side so Santa could let himself in. This past Christmas we had a heart to heart (broke my heart) and he told me he "knew" but just wasn't ready to give up on the fantasy. He said it made him feel safe and special and he would let me know when he was ready. Easter he told me not to hide eggs, but he sure lit up when he saw a basketful on the coffee table! Growing up we were 8 kids spread over 17 years, so Santa was still coming when I left home!
