[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Santa was destroyed for my child at age four by a fellow Christian pre-schooler. At that time, we discussed that Santa represented giving and kindness so he was real in a way. Then ( to keep it going for younger sib) we said it was a really fun game to play at Christmas so he could keep enjoying it. Now teens and still get presents from Santa. My point is I don't think non-Christians have an obligation to other families to make Santa real. [/quote] Exactly -- because Santa ISN'T real -- he's a kid's game for a short while, then everyone know's that he "just pretend." Belief in Santa is incredibly different from true religious beliefs, which persist into adulthood with lots of encouragement from trusted adults to continuing believing, despite ongoing doubts[/quote]
