    Our family has always done the same thing with older kids, that my parents did to us, and their parents did to them. We smile at them, and say, “Really? You think there is no Santa Claus? You know he only brings presents to people who believe? You want to rethink that one???” We say that to 10 year olds, 15 year olds, 21 year olds, and even 40-60 year olds. Works every time. Anyone want to risk not believing? I thought not… 😀 Of course there is a Santa Claus! He lives in the heart of all of us who believe.

    What works for my family is telling them the truth about him. He was very much alive and he was a Bishop around 300AD. We call him Saint Nicholas (and Santa means saint). We tell them what he did, how he loved children (all true) and we celebrated his feast day on December 6th. So when they see him in the street, they always get a kick out of it. 🙂
