Yes, we still have Emily and Matt believing in Santa. Although we have clarified that only one gift is given by Santa, the rest are purchased by mommy and daddy using hard earned money. Okay, I'll admit there is a little appreciation guilt attached to that explanation.
In order to insure that Santa comes to our house, we help his reindeer see and desire to come by providing reindeer food. We mix rolled outs (the yummy eats for the reindeer) with glitter (a means by which to attract the deer as the moon shines on it) and sprinkle it on the lawn. We strategically "place" the food closest to the fireplace. I love watching as the kids toss the oats and glitter in the air. It can make for amazing pictures too if you get the "food" midair like in these pictures. Its a quick little tradition and one that the kids love to do.
