I have been caught in the big lie.

My oldest is getting excited about Christmas. We have taken her to see Santa. We have tried to answer all the questions she has like: How does Santa know if I am good? How do Reindeer fly? How does Santa know what I want? Do the elves really make My Little Ponys? And the big one, how will Santa find me if we are at gramma’s house? Yes we have all of the pat explanations, and of course it seems to be working. “Be good or Santa won’t bring you what you want” She has been pretty good.

We have been caught. She was looking at a picture of her with Santa from last year. She recognized that the Santa from last year is different then Santa from this year.

“Daddy, how can Santa be different?"

Uh oh, now what?
