Writer's Block: Santa Claus is coming to town

I think around seven or eight. I know I definitely didn't believe anymore by the age of nine; I remember my best friend's mother taking me aside and asking me not to discuss Santa around her children. She was very nice about it and I stopped immediately.

I figured it out when I noticed, at the age of 7 or 8, that "Santa" uses the same wrapping paper as my mom. When I asked my mom about it, she tried to deflect the question, which in retrospect I find funny and adorable.

I actually have video of this, as my father had just bought a video camera (the old fashioned kind that plugged into a portable VCR on the floor) and filmed the whole thing on VHS.

Heheh... we're planning for that. Santa paper is carefully wrapped in multiple bags and hidden on the top shelf of our cupboard. Santa wraps with different paper. :-) Because otherwise my 5 yr old WOULD notice. I'm positive.

Your kid certainly would. :) I suspect Claire would notice, too, but Elizabeth would hold on tooth and nail to Santa Claus, and has, so far.
