I use to think so, but this year I'm having some issues talking to my daughter about this holiday she is so very excited about. It's like I have multiple personalities, and every time I talk to her about santa I have an urge to scream "Bullshit! " and call myself out on my lies. Of course, this would only confuse her do I don't.
