What happens when a child stops believing in Santa Claus?Mike Horner Archives A little bit of Christmas spirit dies, that's what.

Santa lives on through the hope of children, and these days, that hope can be harder to hold onto thanks to online tanks of information like Google and Wikipedia.

Now that potentially dream-shattering information is just a quick click away, how do you keep the Christmas spirit alive? With a Chrome extension.

So essentially, you can tuck away the truth from the eyes and ears of your little ones, shielding them from a holiday 'secret' you think it's better they don't know. But how earth-shattering is it really for kids to start thinking Santa isn't real?

"Parents worry that they will have to break the news to their children and shatter their whole vision of Christmas," a PBS guide for parents explains. "However, many children come to this realization on their own around age seven or eight," as Benjamin Siegel, a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Boston University School of Medicine, told PBS.

"And when they do, they are basically unscathed," the guide continues. "Siegel cites a study that revealed that children who learned the truth may have been upset, but not nearly as upset as the parents."

Now as for explaining away that pesky Easter Bunny ... and, well, just about everything else.
