Santa is no more

The much anticipated Santa and his arrival with presents has ceased to exist for Tania for the past 2 days - ever since she asked the important question of - Does Santa really exist, Papa? When she asked me the question I neatly evaded that one - bcoz her presents for the christhmas day are already ready and I didnot want to spoil her fun but Tariq doesnot think much of it and answered quite frankly that Santa is really your mama - ho ho. Maybe she is happy now - because I am forever telling her that Santa gives presents only to good children and she has not at all been good these days. Mama can always be blackmailed into giving presents.
Anyways our christhmas tree is ready - very small but properly decked up- all store brought except the red balls which me and Tania made with yarn dipped in glue tied around aluminium foil balls and then dipped in glitter.
