    Hmmm, not sure what I will tell my kids when I have them.

    On one hand, it is kind of a giant lie invented to sell more stuff. On the other, it's such a big thing for kids, you'd feel kind of bad not doing it.

    • You can easily do it, just tone down the commericalism and over the top bullshit.harlequino
    • Also, you never have to insist he's real. Keep it fun and a game. :)harlequino
    • Still seems kind of cynical and mean doesn't it? Can just see my future 5 year old in kindergarden class around the holidays when they're talking about santa - "That shit ain't real."ukit
    • holidays when they're talking about santa suddenly busting out "That shit ain't real."ukit
    • Yeah i think it can if you insist for years that he's real and always maintain the "Santa's wathcing" thing.harlequino
    • Each to his own obviously. I was against repeating it for a long time. Now I've rethought it. Just going to be very careful.harlequino
