My wife and I also try to preserve this beautiful and magical innocence as much as we can. Santa's visit is such an event at home where my whole family (aunts, grandpa, grandme et al) is involved... And we have an additional problem: Our kids waits for Santa awake so you can imagine the things we do to don't get caught :) We all enjoy. We had, however, the terrible experience of accepting the phisical truth to one of our nieces. But we stand on our believes that Santa do exists... and that we are only the way Santa put his gifts to them. In a sense... it's truth. Regarding @Anonimous comment. Just another square minded person who believes that what he believes is the only true of the world. I don't go along making suffer little children with a suppousely higienical circuncition. I don't go along with that "mania" of keep remembering sad events of the past and wash kid's mind with them, I don't go with many things other religions does... I don't even go with many things catholic religion does... but I respect them all. And I try hard to never disregard them. Let alone in public! Well... I can't say you said it in public... given that you made your comment anonimouly. Anyway... Back to the point. To see, to enjoy that magical innocence in them is one of the most wonderful experiences that parents can have. All best, Will PS: Sorry for my English... I know it's far from perfect but I did my best :) Hello,

I enjoyed this post a lot. My wife and I also try to preserve this beautiful and magical innocence as much as we can. Santa’s visit is such an event at home where my whole family (aunts, grandpa, grandme et al) is involved… And we have an additional problem: Our kids waits for Santa awake so you can imagine the things we do to don’t get caught :) We all enjoy.

We had, however, the terrible experience of accepting the phisical truth to one of our nieces. But we stand on our believes that Santa do exists… and that we are only the way Santa put his gifts to them. In a sense… it’s truth.

We will be celebrating Christmas just because it is so much fun to be part of all the festivities - but our celebrations are more around Christmas tree, decorations, food, party with frieds and celebrating winter - cider, hot chocolate, songs and smores by the fireplace etc. We tradintioally have not exchanged gifts and I still don't have special gift for him this year. But since I like the concept of Santa, maybe we will have a small gift for him . My son has started talking about Santa for the first time this year.

Part of my family is Jewish. We dont go along with the Santa stories. It is so commercial anyway, and I cant see myself telling a whole set of lies to them every year. Maybe you can explain to them about Santa and make up another day in the year when you give them surprise, wonderful toys and gifts (not related to good behavior). A contrarian take.

Its mainly because he sees the Toys r us toys at home and it sounds unreal to him - he is very analytical. But I have decided to go along with it for another year, not so much because of any liking for the concept, but because of the mom conspiracy around it - his classmates moms are very anxious I dont tell him anything.
