to ask friend to help keep Santa "alive"

DD is 3 and has a lovely friend also 3, they play together a lot. Parents are nice, we all get on. However the mother of the other little girl has told her there is no santa ( also no baby Jesus, nativity etc all lies) and reckons that her DD will just keep quiet and not tell other kids. She doesn't want to "lie" to her child. Knowing this other little girl i know that there's NO WAY she's not going to blab ( she's just 3!). Plus they're going to same primary school so this will come up time and time again. Now I'd quite like my DD to have the magic and tradition of santa, at least for a few years, and I don't get the not "lying" thing, I just think its another make believe thing, like disney films etc.
My DH thinks that we should say something to the mother - get her to retract i suppose - I think theres no point. Opinions? And any advice of what to say to my DD too would be helpful!

I was in tears, yes. It seemed so young for it all to be over. I want my ds to believe for as long as possible. I didn't realise so many people didn't 'do' Father Christmas either. It's an eye opener. Sorry if I'm being naive.

It's not about being naive I just think to cry over something so ridiculous is frankly ridiculous Grin
