my mum's best friend has a son who is 12, and he still believes in santa claus...

my mum thinks its atrocious that her friend hasn't told him yet, & tells her so! But the friend doesn't want to destroy the fantasy for the boy! My little brother reports that all the kids at school think its quite hilarious. *sigh* there comes an age when the parents have to let go of the fantasy too...hehe

As for harry potter - the poor boy is perfectly innocent! He was just born that way ;0)

ps. Lisa Nova does a good little sketch featuring a certain president & santa...
