I'm curious how long my 5 year old will keep believing mainly because The Polar Express is his favourite Christmas movie and the theme of somebody ceasing to believe in Santa is pretty strong through the whole thing. I think a lot of kids believe simply because nobody has even brought up the notion that he might not be real yet, so to hear people openly question it is bound to raise some flags.

Oh and some of you need to have some more fun. Jesus. You get about 6 years to do nothing but play and then school starts and you're basically trying to find happiness for the next 60. Let them have a little magic.
