[speaker001:] So how 's everything going for Christmas?
[speaker002:] I 'Ve got all the presents I need, and my family is working together to get all the food ready. That 's easy; but I have another problem to deal with.
[speaker001:] What 's that? Don 't tell me you 'Ve still got Christmas cards to write, it usually takes my wife a month to write all of ours.
[speaker002:] No, I did that a long time ago. It 's about telling my son the truth about Santa Claus.
[speaker001:] He still doesn 't know that Santa isn 't real? How old is he, eight?
[speaker002:] Yes. He 's never said anything so I never told him. But now that he 's getting older...
[speaker001:] You think it 's better that he should be told?
[speaker002:] Yes, he 's too old to believe in that type of things. And I 'd rather tell him before the kids at school do.
[speaker001:] That happened to my oldest girl. She became really upset when her classmates told her Santa wasn 't real.
[speaker002:] I can understand. I was lucky with my oldest; she figured it out by herself and didn 't tell my son.
[speaker001:] Well, when you tell him, be gentle. It 's hard for kids to find out something like that.
