But when the grandma learned that her grandson didn&#8217;t believe in Santa Claus\u2014a fact that the daughter acknowledged\u2014a possible argument could have arisen. The mother urged her daughter to talk to her grandson about the matter, fearing for the safety of the magic for her younger children.<br \/>\nThe mother lost her cool when her daughter wouldn&#8217;t force her son to lie about Santa Claus.
