[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You were called out for refusing to perpetuate a lie. But it's the Father Christmas lie, sacrosanct for decades for Europeans and Americans. Try to be more discreet next time, please! [/quote] It is a white lie in the same category as people go to heaven when they die. Designed to help make people feel better. So, you are free to do as you see fit. Maybe even tell the lady to mind her business. However, it is a good learning opportunity for your kid about social norms and maybe you can tell her how it is important to speak in a lower volume and not offend people. My kids always knew that Santa was a legend. They knew that parents and relatives were buying them presents (because it is written on the present, no?) . It did not take away their joy about Christmas or Santa at all.[/quote]
