[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t. I told each of my kids about Santa in the spring of second grade. They appreciated that I told them the truth and didn’t try to turn a special thing for little kids into an increasingly elaborate series of lies. It made them feel mature to know. I think it was a good approach since they still had Santa fun as babies. [/quote] Was this planned out? I think this usually is more organic as kids put two and two together and ask questions. Not a specific date and time.[/quote] We are Catholic. I told my kids the Easter Bunny was made up before their first communion. Didn’t want to send mixed messages. They connected the dots about Santa and asked and I told the truth because I’m not going to lie to them, and it’s time anyways. We never made Santa a big deal to begin with, just the culture does and we let it slide until they asked directly. [/quote]
