It makes the strip this week, but if they would tell her Santa has multiple names known from different languages/countries, would put her mind at ease.
Wonder how Santa got the Kris Kringle moniker. There is a historical basis for the Saint Nick but Kris Kringle?? Cool it. Many people have several names. Growing up, my name was a short for a longer name so I had a legal name and a nickname. Then in college my friends told me my nickname did not suit me and gave me a new one. So I am known by those three names.
My husband & I never did the Santa thing with our daughters. However, when they got to school age, we impressed upon them that some kids believed so don’t spoil it for them.
When I was in grade school, our teacher had us research Santa’s different names and their origins. I can’t remember if we were assigned names or got to choose. It was a fun assignment.
My mother read Abraham Lincoln’s biography while pregnant with me. She was inspired to name me after his son, Todd. His son wasn’t named Todd. His wife was. sigh

I suppose they daren’t tell her the real truth — that “Santa” is a lie
the little blabbermouth would ruin it for both her younger siblings — not to mention all the other kids at school

The elves don’t know. He has something on them, or they wouldn’t work for him. I have heard many of them have dreams of better careers.

Since you’re so concerned with what Santa might be hiding , Zoe, maybe you shouldn’t ask for any gifts.
