How to respond when they say "there's no Santa"

Here's my response when the little ones come home, faces streaked with tears because their "friends" tell them there's no such thing as Santa.

It happened to me during my second marriage. My stepson came home all upset, seems "Tommy" at school had enlightened him as to who Santa "really was". I sat that little 6 year old down and told him I had proof positive of Santa's existence. I knew because I had to go shovel reindeer turds off the roof!

Reindeer turds, it'll work everytime with little boys.

And it's remarkable how much they look like dog or cat crap.
