the talk

We are realizing that it may be the time to have the talk with A...it breaks my heart to have this conversation as I never believed in Santa, but Brad and I decided the time has come to be straight with him.  If there is anyone out there reading this, who can comment,  is there a special way to initiate the conversation? 

Letting him know that the spirit of Santa and of giving is alive and well is the goal of this interchange...I'm just kind of chicken to initiate the conversation.  I am not shy about many things, but this one has me thinking.
