I was 9 when my brother (who was 12) spilled the beans about Santa. I was shocked!!! My mother was so mad at him. She wanted me to stay innocent a little longer. He was embarrassed that I still believed. We went to the same school and his friends teased him. (The Jr. High and grade school were in the same building way back then) That was one of the only times I remember Mom being mad at him!

Part of the magic of Christmas (other than Jesus birthday) is watching the wonder in kids eyes. I love seeing little kids watch the lights and things when it's all new to them. I supposed that offends someone too.
