DH agreed to buy the elf. She arrived via Prime later this week. He figured this is indeed a sucky year, keeps the magic for Xmas in a year there’s not much magic, and will be something going forward that will be a link to their childhood.
We will move her around but not do the extra. I have no doubt that DD2 knows it’s not real, even if she believes in Santa, but she wants one cause her friends all have one and she sees the fun of it. She’s my kid that can play make believe and fantasy morning to night but is also very grounded in reality. She’s the kid who went to WDW at age 5 and knew full well all the characters weren’t real and yet pretended they were and got great joy from the believing.

Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.
