I've had to 'fess up to my 10 yr old DD

[TensionWheelsCoolHeels]

I'm gutted! [santa]

I thought I'd get 1 last xmas but she's sussed me out. Bloody label on her new elf that I cut off not well enough gave it away. And the penny dropped that I'm the one who eats the cookies

Tell me it'll still be special...[santa]

It will be special, she can help more. Make sure she knows not to tell younger friends and family. She'll enjoy keeping the secret. It is part of growing up I'm afraid, my DGD aged 7 sussed it all out for definate this year and is enjoying the preparations especially as she is in on the secrets and mustn't tell her much younger cousins.
