I think its fine. There are people who think the children should be told the truth. But I personally think, we have a very limited time to be children. We can learn the truth and anyother think after we grow up. But you have to give the children a chance to be children. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, believing there is a santa. Now, my children look forward eagerly for Christmas cos they want santa gifts. I never take that feeling out from them for a million.

My husband and I decided not to tell our kids about santa. I didnt want them to think that we lied to them.

But you know, for example in our country, all the young children believe in santa. And if you tell a 4 year old one the "truth", sure she/he will tell to the others. And then what? a lot of hurt children! When they are older, the situation is changed, they can handle it more easliy.

I think there is no harm in it.. I believed in Santa Claus and my daughter ( 5 ) does as well and I intend to teach my son about him too.. it is a tradition .. not just something that someone started to trick their kids into being good for a month out of the year... there's more too it than that and once my daughter is old enough to know the truth... then I will ask her to keep the secret going for her little brother who is now only 5m old.. why spoil it for him?

maybe because you have lived in such an environment without this myth about santa!
