No, Rachel, there is No Santa Claus

Or is there?
Rachel is convinced there is no Santa Claus.  She is also trying to convince Will that there is no Santa Claus.  Smart boy that he is, is not believing her.  I asked her why she doesn't believe in Santa, and she said he is a myth  (Sounds like something she heard at school) and she saw the same wrapping paper Santa used under our bed...oops!  I told her that I was sorry to hear that she didn't believe, but that the rest of us did.  She said we were stupid and that nobody has ever seen a real Santa Claus. I told her that if you believe you get presents from Santa, but if you don't you get nothing, and that just because you can't see him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

So, the dilemma is does she get nothing while the rest of us get Santa gifts, or does Santa still give her a small gift with a note attached about believing?

I still believe....do you?
