I Won't Lie To Kids About Santa Clause

Does anyone think that if you tell your kids santa is pretend they would have less fun. Me and your mom put those gift out because we love you and want you to be happy. Will this make Christmas less fun?

We have always been honest with our kids about Santa. They know we get their gifts. If they want to add some make-believe for fun, we are ok with it. We do the same with the tooth fairy, Easter bunny, etc.

We also told them not to tell other kids. We may not do the whole Santa thing but respect that other families do. We watch movies and read stories with Santa. It hasn't taken away from their enjoyment of Christmas.

Do your kids have any less fun than the ones who do believe? @midnightrose

@Dom987654321 I don't think so, we do a lot of fun things this time of year. Minus their Christmas wish list being addressed to Santa, they participate in most of the same things other kids do. They take pictures with Santa, went on a polar express ride, and other Christmas related activities that often feature Santa.
