Should parents tell their kids the truth about Santa?

[Alien Allen]

Every time I call my Ex she says "OH GOD not you again"..

Therefore I must be God.. :24:

He finds himself very attractive. All he needs is a mirror.

Reminds me of a joke...bit rude sorry...


David Beckham( or insert the name of any stuck up/arsehole sportsperson) goes to the doc and says.
"Doc, every time I look in the mirror I get a hard on"

The doc says..."Thats coz you're a cunt"

I fail to understand why some people want to snatch away small joys from children?

Personally, I would like my children to believe they are the ones who can make a difference and bring joy to someone's life. I don't want it to be fiction to them.

For instance, when I take them shopping to buy presents for children who need them, I don't want to have to come up with a reason why Santa doesn't bring them presents. I want them to know and understand why we are giving gifts to needy children.

This right here...

This is how I will explain to my children that santa isn't "real" and it's the perfect opportunity for any parent to help their child understand.
When you are helping your child buy presents for a needy family/child, explain to them that they are helping to brighten someones Christmas, that santa is the spirit of the holiday and they are playing that role this time.

He is not Santa, only a copy thereof!!

But do your children believe in Santa now?

Yes when they get to a certain age...

the condition of age is because you cannot tell them the Truth at all times.....then why accuse those who
fib about Santa??

I never accused anyone of anything. Every parent has the right to raise their child whatever ways they see fit. As long as it doesn't harm the child. And I really don't believe that a dose of fantasy hurts anyone.

sorry, it wasn't for you but for the opponents of children relishing innocent joy at the mention of Santa

A friend of ours had a dog who had puppies right about the time my wife got pregnant with my youngest. So they were somewhat familiar with babies. We told them they had a baby sister in mommy's tummy. We said mommy would go to the doctor when the baby was big enough and then the baby would come out. I thought that explanation might start a lot of questions but it didn't. They seemed satisfied with that. I've found most of the time when small children ask a question, they want an inch not a mile.
