[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an adult who grew up believing in Santa and who raised her children the same way, I guess you could say my response here is going to be very prejudiced just because.

I am going to say that it is always best to err on the side of caution and always keep your mouth shut when it comes to Santa. Treat it as a very delicate subject because for some children it is.

Let children believe in the magic of Santa for as long as they possibly can. Let their childhood be a magical place to store special memories that they look back on with fondness. What can it hurt??

I don't know any adults who have trust issues and needed therapy as adults because they felt deceived and betrayed because their parents "lied" to them about Santa. Or the Tooth Fairy. Or the Easter Bunny.

It can hurt you from becoming a fully realized human being.  What is this obsession with recreating your childhood experience with your children?  What could hurt from telling a child Santa doesn't exist but his family sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM does and wants to spend time with him, show him love...instead of spending time thinking of all the ways they can fill their time by by decorating with giant snowman..,[/quote]

You are being absolutely absurd.[/quote]
