Santa?

As my kids get older I'm trying to find out where I stand with Santa. I want Christmas to be magical for them but I don't really want to push the creepy elf that watches you at night or getting coal for Christmas stuff. I was excited to see that Santa made a stop at our ward Christmas party and the kids were too (well Quincy obviously wasn't thrilled to see him). Josie sat on his lap and talked to him, which is a big deal for her. Trig ran a few circles around him and then stopped. Santa asked what he wanted for Christmas. Trig replied, "Chaps" then punched Santa in the belly, and continued running circles until I stopped him for a picture. 

Seeing Santa really opened a can of worms at our house. EVERY single day Josie asks me a question about Santa. Sometimes only one Sometimes 5 or 6. 

I don't even know how to answer...

*Why did Santa ask my name? I already told him last year?

*Mom why doesn't Santa just drive a car?

*The reindeer probably can't hear Santa tell them where to go if he is in the sleigh, right mom?

*If Santa has to come in the door will he take his boots off so he doesn't get the house dirty?

*Why does Santa bring presents when I'm asleep, then how can I tell him thanks?

*Is Santa a stranger because I don't really know him?

*How does Santa know if we are good, he can't see us from the North Pole?

*Is the North Pole far away like more then hundred ten minutes?

and on, and on, and on...
