[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m atheist and am raising my kids secular, so I thought long and hard about the whole Santa thing. Ultimately I decided to go along because the kids enjoy it, it’s a bit of harmless cultural fun, and I know they will grow out of it soon. My older child is questioning and I never lie, but I ask them what they want to believe. They still want to believe Santa is real. Santa never brings the bulk of the goods in this house- the best presents come from mom, dad, and family. If they come away with the same lessons about God as they do Santa (not real, but people want desperately to believe, so let’s not ruin their magic) then I’ve done my job in raising them to be good secular citizens. [/quote] You never lie? That’s admirable, extremely admirable. On average, people tell 1-4 lies per day. You must be very special to be the one human on earth that never lies. [/quote]
