Do You Think Its Wrong To Lie About Santa? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. Mickie30 (1798)3 years ago

Do you think its wrong to tell your children that there is a santa?

My daughter is 1 and I don't know when she is older to tell her about santa. Is this what you would call a harmless lie? It's just as a Christian its something that concerns me lying. I think it is good fun but, when my daughter finds out will she lose trust in me? It probably seems silly, but it's something that I have been wondering about. Has anyone else got any experiences of their children finding out about santa and how they took it?

It gives children a real and innocent pleasure and i think its completely okay to lie about him. You all noticed the children's joy In the christmas morning i think? We shoulfd not make that a lie.

Yeah your right maybe the word lie is not right. It is innocent pleasure. I remember when I was younger the world of make believe fascinated me. Thanks for your response.

My son found out when he was six years old in school and it didn't affect him in any way. He never thought I was lyin.From story books and other things they tend to realize this is a harmless fairy tail. Relax and enjoy christmas.


Merry Christmas

my mother has never straight up and told me that santa didn't exsist. i kinda just figured it out one day. it didn't hurt me and i didn't get scared for life, actually...this kept going on until i moved out and had children myslf..then she said, you're the santa now...i kinda just laughed. the 'spirit' of santa lives in our hearts...its a physical manifestation of kindness and carring throughout the holiday season...which is why i would believe that santa still exsists.


myLot reputation of 80/100. Mickie30 (1798)  3 years ago

Wow yeah of course you are so right thanks.


myLot reputation of 89/100. gknott (497)  3 years ago

I completely agree about Santa being a "spirit" and that he lives in our hearts. That is how I explain him to my children. Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.

I too believe that "We" are Santa. We are Christian's too. We want to teach our sons about the spirit of Giving and thats what Santa is to us. We tell they about Santa now. But when they asks, we'll tell him who St Nick really was and that we use Santa to teach him about giving to others. For now its just a great story and fun anticipation.

My girls have not figured it out yet. I don't remember when I found out. I know I was not upset about it, nor was I mad at my parents. I never felt as though I was lied to.

Really, what is the point? I understand that it gives children the magic-of-Christmas kind of thing, but, really...When I found out that my parents had 'lied' to me about it when I was 5, I was ticked off just a little bit. After all their, "You'll go to Hell if you lie to people" banter, they had lied to me.

I understand why they did it, now, of course, but back then it just seemed ridiculous. Maybe it was just me. Did this happen to anyone else?
