It came up when I asked for Christmas lists at the weekend. Youngest was not surprised at all, and was piecing together things.
Eldest was LIVID that we had lied to her - she didn't care that it wasn't real, she was upset that we "conned" her into believing. She said she'd rather have been told it was make believe from the get go and treated it as another part of the fun if that makes sense.
The thing that amazed them both was that all the gifts over the years were bought by us, since dh (in their words) "is a massive cheapskate" lol
