DS is 3.5 and this year will be the first year he really gets Christmas and is already super excited 😆
He keeps putting me on the spot though and when we are talking about Father Christmas bringing the presents he wants to know how he gets here, I said he flies with the reindeers, then he says how do the reindeer's fly? 😂 erm by magic, but how do they get the magic mummy?
How does everyone 'explain' to their kids as I feel myself digging a deeper hole here 😂😂

Get some Christmas picture books from the library. Hopefully he will be too full up on random information about Santa that he won't ask you more questions besides discussing what is in the books.

Isn't this a great time for a good Christmas film to fill in the gaps?

Is ELF age appropriate? I'm not great at gauging film suitability 😂

I just say I don't know since it's magic. Wouldn't be magic if everyone knew how it worked.

Also turn it around and ask him how he thinks it works.
