Why would you do that to a child? I never understood lying to kids about these mythical characters. I told all my kids at a young age that these mythical beings don’t exist. I told them the presents they get are from mom and dad because we love them and then went on to explain the origins of the fairy tales. I mean why lie to the kid, when he does get older and finds out the truth he/she might wonder why he was lied to by mom and dad for all those years. You think they might question other things you told them. Can they ever really be sure mom and dad is telling them the truth? But granted, it wasn’t the KG teachers place to tell them.
I respect your view.
I said i liked it for kids, and you decided to be honest.
Maybe i wouldn’t have cared as long as i got the gifts :)
By the time I was old enough to understand, it never occurred to me as deception though, but just what parents do.
besides, i would have tortured my parents to have the gifts early, but santa only does the 25th :)
to be fair, some use it was a way to make their kids behave all of December.
“i’m gonna call santa”
