Let us know. It's fast approaching for us and here's how we plan to handle it... tell our oldest son the truth. We MUST tell him the truth or he'll relentlessly pursue the truth at the expense of his little brothers' innocence. Here's the tricky part. How can we prevent him from spilling the beans? Easy. Include him in the charade. Let him stay up late on Christmas Eve, put out the Santa presents, fill up stockings, and most importantly eat the Santa cookies. He'll be having so much fun and so happy to be pulling one over on his little brothers that he won't have time to ruin it for them.
