Carla tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively about how she explained the truth about Santa to her kids.

Mob Wives star Carla Facciolo is a practical woman and a practical mother. Even though she loves Christmas time, she isn’t going to lie to her 9-year-old twins Joseph and Carmen about Santa Claus.

“They do and they don’t [believe in Santa],” Carla told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at the VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC on Dec. 18. “They are right at that point.”

Carla partially told her kids the truth. “I kind of told them listen, Santa is not all what he seems to be,” she explained. “He can’t get you everything you ask for.”

“Every day they put a new thing on the list,” she continued. “I’m like listen, ‘Santa sees one list. He doesn’t want to put anything else on it.’ How much more can I go to the store?”

And this year, Carla’s kids are asking for a lot from Santa. “My son wants lego, lego, legos,” she said. “My daughter, as she gets older, she’s not into any little toys anymore. They want the new iPhone, the big things.”

But Carla plans to keep her kids grounded. “I’m not giving them an iPhone,” she shared.
