  Santa & Kids - To Lie or Not To Lie?

  by sweet pea in

  this will be our second christmas since leaving the wts but we will be away in nz with besty's extended family so probably won't bother much with trees and decorations but the santa issue is playing on my mind, especially now podlet no.

  1 is at preschool.. do we bring the children up to believe in santa & co with all the magic, mystery and excitement associated with the fairytale or do we tell him right away what the deal is - either route is going to feel very strange.

  my gut feeling is to go along with the myth and give them those happy memories of wonder and anticipation - what do you all think?.

  My Tia Carmen used to say she can remember being born.

  I'm sorry that magic was drained out your childhood John.

  Want I should send you a Santa for your mantle???

  My son BELIEVES these things. BELIEVES them. They learn they aren't real, but at the beginning they truly believe them.

  So my boy sees Santa on TV. He believes in him like he believes Blue from Blues Clues can really talk. And that Dad and I shouldn't fight because Little Bill's parents don't. But honey, they aren't real people like me and Daddy. Wailing...yes they arrrrreeeee!!!!!

  Don't you remember being young?

  It does if you say, no that rock is not talking to you, no that rabbit isn't wanting to play hide and seek. Kids' magic takes it three steps past what we can comprehend. Butterflies play tag, not just look pretty flying. Tree branches wave hello, not just blow in the wind. There are fairies, not fireflies.

  Kids aren't damaged by this. They don't go to therapy because they found out how things really are.

  Let me just tell you a side story John Doe. It's true you WON'T understand unless you have kids.

  My son is married to Fiona from Shrek, he is a knight, he can fly and regularly calls Handy Manny and makes me talk to him. Am I lying to him when I carry on a conversation with Handy Manny? Or when I go to his wedding reception to Fiona? Or when I feel the baby in his tummy kick? (his cousin just had a baby)

  Should I smash his imagination at every turn? No, that is what nourishes their souls. It is magic, Mrs Jones is right.

  So...if you are ever blessed with rugrats don't tell them there is a Santa. Don't play imaginary games with them. Make them adults without the magic of childhood.

  It is up to each family what they do or say. No one is saying you should do one thing or another. We are saying what we do, and as adults, Sweetpea and Besty can decide for their own family.

  Do you even put up a tree man?

  They should definitely be told that the tooth fairy is a wicked lie though because it costs you a fortune LOL

  My son adamently refuses the idea of money under his pillow. He MUST receive rocks when he loses his teeth.

  He's 3, I hope he keeps that idea when he's 5!
