Why do people even tell their kids their presents come from Santa?

Wouldn't it make much more sense to tell your child the presents are from [i]you[/i]?

Stockings were always "Santa" presents in our house, and others were known to have been purchased by parents, brothers, grandparents, etc. It equalized things so in case we said something to other kids about what Santa may have brought us that it would not be out of line with what someone else got.

As you grow up, you learn there's little magic in the world.
Much of the time it's a cold; hard place to live in.
So if you get the chance for your children to have a little escapism; a little mystery; a little wonder. It's a good thing !

[c=#BF0080]That was the big, big part of the fun when I was a child.. and for my own children. Why take the fun out of it.. not like they're going to Middle School still believing in Santa.[/c]

I never believed in Santa...I'd get into HUGE arguments with my dad over whether or not he existed. My dad kept insisting he existed and then I brought up, "But you said Santa comes down the chimney, we don't even have one of those!" I was a very smart five year old XD

Some children like the magic behind Santa. My parents never told me it was from Santa or from them, but I always knew Santa wasn't real because magic doesn't exist and I never got the presents that I wanted.
