Santa is not a myth. Santa is real. There is no person named Santa, but there is a reality called Santa, a wonderful reality that was handed down from my grandparents to my parents to me, that I'm handing down to my children and that I hope they'll hand down to their children. I don't look at kids "no longer believing in Santa" as finding out that their parents were lying to them, I see it as having something wonderful, and real, entrusted to them.
You actually believe Santa is a real thing. It is not my purpose at this moment to disabuse you of this notion. However, at least YOU are consistent.
I am talking to those Freepers who say Santa Claus is a harmless fairy tale/myth, yet they present him to their children as a real person, not a mythological figure.
This is inconsistent.
Good post... that is how we know Santa too :~D
