[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can reasonably ask another adult to join you in lying to your child. I really don't get this. I don't go around saying "Santa isn't real" but I would be extremely uncomfortable if someone asked me to agree to lie to their kid. What kind of "problem" do you foresee exactly? Even if your sibling or the unbelieving child did say "there is no Santa" you could say "well, some people believe and some don't" or whatever to smooth things over. Also, I would be astonished if your 10 year old has not figured things out by now.[/quote]

Well one issue is We have gotten into the habit of all gifts being from Santa. I can forsee this being an issue with my sister. I know they don't do this for my niece, so how will explain niece not getting gifts from Santa or Auntie bringing gifts with her?
The other is the kids leave out milk , cookies, and reindeer food, my niece has never done this so I can see this being strange to her and she makes an innocent 5 year old comment that upsets everyone, especially the 4 year olds.

As I mentioned in my , OP my sister didn't grow up with Santa so I doubt she will see the problems that could arise.[/quote]
