Talking to our 6 year old grandson about Christmas and he says that Santa doesn't exist and the postman brings presents.

Apparently it's a ridiculous notion that reindeer could fly!! Is he the only 6 year old in the world who doesn't believe in Santa? It made me a bit sad to be honest.

And out come the ridiculous conspiracy theories. Of course there is a Father Christmas. I've seen him with my own eyes several times this month! How else do the presents get there?  :huh:

There must be a Santa or there would be nothing to track?

There's better than that out there.

Try the original one at NORAD. Much better and its been built up over the years to make it the best out there. Based on the original concept that a child of an officer who worked at Cheyenne Mountain called in to ask the commander to tell him where Santa was at the moment and could they use their equipment to find him.

@tonyhateley have you tried the pnp website for them? You enter their details and Santa sends them a personalised video message. Best of all its free! Used it for years with our two and Abigail is 9 now and still will the help of videos and tracking Santa still believes. Almost!

It depends how careful people are, there are many things which give it a way these days.

Thanks @GrannyPie we'll get George out on the garden tonight and see if we can see Santa, I think he'll only believe if he actually sees Santa and the reindeer landing on his roof though.

I forget how old I was, though I do recall similar to @liampie minus the broken leg.

I heard @GrannyPie and @super_ram arguing, Super was moaning and making a lot of racket with taking the presents downstairs. I actually sneaked out and watched him struggle to take them down, then all the lights went off and I was told to go to bed. LOL

Theres usually another story you can say to make up to get him to believe at that age. We went outside on christmas eve to see santa pass by and the kids loved it. Luckily they weren't listening to super_ram who decided to talk about how would they get something so big to fly across in the sky.... probably not thinking that the kids were right near him.

I read somewhere that the space station is roughly the size of a football pitch and orbits at about 200 miles from Earth.Whilst watching it pass I couldn't help thinking out aloud how they managed to get something so large up there.Luckily Jake, (@super-pie), was the only grandchild to hear me.He explained to me that Santa had extra reindeers who ran extremely fast.along the snow until Santa's sleigh got into the air-SIMPLE-silly grandad.
