    Great list! I answered most of the questions so far correctly :)

    Parents should memorize these.

    These are adorable. When my kids were little I had to leave the room for fear of laughing when my oldest son told his brother that Santa had to be real they (Mom and Dad) are too poor to buy the things we get from him. LOL! :)

    Great article. I have a 7 year old and a 3 year old and though my 7 year old still hasn't "caught" on yet I know one day he will. Until then these are all great tips. I also love going to www.northpole.com and writing to Santa and then a couple days later they each get an email letter from Santa himself. The best part is...it's FREE! Check it out the kids love it.

    "Magic" is my response to most of these questions! My son keeps insisting that I don't have to spend any money on him this Christmas. I should just "let Santa buy all the expensive stuff" he wants so I don't have to. Oh, if only it were that easy!

    Good article. I'm going to have to use some of these with my daughter pretty soon.

    Really cute! My parents used to mrak our cheeks with a piece of charcole like Santa gave us a kiss while we were sleeping.
