The Santa myth is just like any other lie. It started out as something slightly true but highly exaggerated and it snowballed out of control from there. Why some parents choose to keep this lie up? Tradition, I suppose. Sorry I can't think of a better answer than that!
The real birthday of Jesus was in April. I've heard the 17th and the 19th, also the 10th. Here's a site you can check out to read more about that if you're interested:

It's a basic understanding of astronomy and it makes sense to me. :)

Jesus was born in March. I think the 17th.
We lie to our children so that it makes Christmas mysterious and exciting for them and something to look forward to. We all know that the original Santa was a Turkish merchant who saw a poor family and threw a bag of money into their window to make life happier for them so that theu could get something to eat.
Its only a little white lie.......and whats the harm when it is just to make a lovely day for them....a really nice special day????

Jesus was born sometime in the spring and Santa is made from Saint Nick who gave toys to poor kids.

some people say he was born a few weeks before Christmas and Christmas was just the day the three kings came to visit baby Jesus.

I would love to know the answers to these questions! I don't plan on telling my son about santa when he grows up, seriously, why lie to him?
