DD has always written notes and left them at the fairy door in the corner of her room. Her little fairy has occasionally written back loving notes. I did it as she was growing up and it was very much a part of our play theme at home.
She's now 10 and off to comp next September. I've not told her about Father Christmas and neither has anyone else in our family - not even DD13 (a neighbour told her when she was 10 and it upset her a great deal - a whole other thread, that). I've no doubt that it's talked about in school and she has asked a few probing questions in the past.
She has left one last note to her little fairy - asking how she is etc. I feel like I've not properly or adequately closed that magic chapter in her life and it irks me. I don't know how to do it I don't particularly want to do it but I don't want her to grow up neither . I definitely need to tell her about Father Christmas too.
Any help with this please? Advice greatly appreciated.
