When Bubbles Burst


Eventually all of our happy bubbles burst, our illusions are swept away, and if we are really lucky we might see things as they really are. It can be painful, especially the first hundred times. (This is not a letter from one of my daughters, I found it on Reddit. However, the time will come.) 

After the bubble is gone, and the truth about Santa is obvious, how hard would it be for them to go back to believing?  What would they have to give up?  Could it be done at all?
