I remember being told at school by a friend that Santa wasn't real and coming home asking mom if it was true....I was heart broken, but my mom was cool and she explained it so well that I remember feeling all was right with the world....(I think I already had a pretty good clue anyways).

That said, I have a 22 month old granddaughter that is very excited about Christmas this year

Andrea, I always tell me kids the same thing your mom told you--if you don't believe, you don't get the good presents. ;)

Deb, I love your mom's tradition. My mom continued to fill our stockings and Easter baskets, but we couldn't see her doing it. :)

Thanks Jane, I enjoyed the post about Santa. It's been so long ago I can't remember when or how I stopped believing in Santa, or even when my son stopped. I know we still enjoyed our Christmas's even without that belief because we still got to be with family and celebrate the season.
I love historical romances and Christmas stories are always a treat. I'm looking forward

Hi, Jane, and welcome to The Romance Dish! We're thrilled to have you spend the day with us. And congrats on your newest release! :)

My son sounds a lot like your Thomas. He's 9, very tenderhearted and will probably be devastated when he finds out that there is no "real" Santa, though he did ask me recently how exactly Santa can deliver that many presents to that many

2009-12-08T13:53:08.609-05:00

Jane, I think part of the joy of Christmas is having someone who believes in Santa so much, who is excited for his visit. I must admit that Christmas lost a lot of its meaning for me when I grew older and more jaded. But now that I'm a parent myself (to a beautiful 18 month old), that joy is happily returning!

Hi Jane,
I remember well the pain and anger that I felt when I , at the age of 8 years old, found out that there was no such thing as Santa. As a parent I had a hard time with whether or not I wanted my own children to beleive in Santa. I decided to perpetuate the lie and let them beleive. when my youngest son finally found out from one of his classmates he was shocked an very dimayed

What a wonderful, heartfelt post, and I find I am really being to love Xmas romances, and yours have a real attraction, Victorian AND Christmas! I will certainly keep an eye out for your titles!

I was a stubborn child, sure, I heard the talk on the playground of "There is no Santa", I refuse to believe such radical talk.
At age 9, I finally started to doubt, LOL! So I

2009-12-08T10:36:56.899-05:00

Hi Jane :)
Thank you for the heartfelt post. As a parent I know the sadness when the magic of believing is gone as the children get older. I told my children when they no longer believed in Santa that he was what we called the spirit of Christmas and still exists in the hearts and minds of everyone who believes in the spirit of giving and charity.
:)
Thank you for sharing here

Hello, Jane. You're a new author to me, so I will eagerly check out your books. I love Christmas stories, too.

I don't remember when I found out that Santa wasn't a real person, but my mother, bless her Christmas spirit, carried on with the tradition even up through my college years. :) (Presents appearing under the tree on Christmas morning.) My daughter is 9 and still

Hi, Jane and Buon Natale!! :)

It's always a little sad when the kidlets stop believing in Santa. Morgan is still hanging on, even though she's ten, like Thomas. In her heart, I'm pretty sure she knows, but she's not quite ready to give it up yet.

I was eight the last time I believed in Santa. My mom said the Christmas just wasn't the same when my

Hi Jane,
Congrats on the recent release of "A Christmas Scandal." I really enjoyed "Marry Christmas" and look forward to reading book two of this trilogy. I still believe in Santa, but not in the same way that I did as a child.

Hi Jane ^^
Nice to meet you. I love Christmas stories set in historical periods. ^^ I'll have to look for yours in the bookstore if i don't win it.

I remember i was nine when i stopped believing in Santa as well. I'm not sure what brought it on, but it's something that i just knew that Christmas. My sister and I never formally told our parents we didn't
