The truth about Sinterklaas: he comes to every child differently. One figures it out for himself, the other continues to believe stubbornly even after the revelation. And if the penny doesn’t fall by itself, grandma will lend a hand.

Very fake

I was furious inside. I don’t remember what I made of it to my son, but he left it. Then I took my mother-in-law aside. Vibrant; I was that angry. “Did you think that was necessary?” I said to her. I saw her startled, she turned bright red and said something like, “I thought they already knew.” I got very angry.

“When our son was two years old, I heard his grandmother talking to him about helping Santa Claus”

She never apologized and it was between us for a long time. Why are you doing such a thing? When our son was two years old, I overheard her talking to him about helping Santa Claus. Then I hissed her to keep her mouth shut. It almost seems as if she does not wish it on her grandchildren.”
