[quote=Anonymous]I just want to point out these two quotes next to each other.

[quote=Anonymous]Every year, same thread.

There is plenty of magic and childhood innocence with a Santa that is imaginary, no need to create a narrative that inevitably ends with dropping your kid off of a truth cliff.

We have always give presents from Santa, take pictures with Santa, leave candy for Santa, promote the imaginary spirit of Santa, etc. - but the kids have always known that it's an imaginary thing that is FUN but not REAL.

There is still magic and fun in a make-believe Santa.

Listening to parents who INSTANTLY tell their kids for YEARS that Santa is real, and then complain about breaking their kids' hearts with the truth....  No sympathy for you.

[quote=Anonymous]What the hell is wrong with children believing in Santa? The "I won't lie to my kids" excuse is bizarre. [b]I believe parents who say that just don't want to be in the effort[/b].[/quote]

DP, but we put a ton of effort in at Christmas. We believe in doing the work it takes to do a good celebration. We just believe in a different main thing for Christmas, and want to keep the main thing the main thing. I'm sorry that's so hard for second PP to understand.[/quote]
