Seems to me the demonstrated love of parents and friends at Xmas - once we're aware of it - is far more moving than fantasies of Santa ever were. Although, like fairies and other things Santa's a fun idea while it lasts - until we find reality is closer to home and our hearts.

I hope my kids see it like that when they finally figure it out.

No, Your right when you say that parents demonstrate love. But the eyes of a child light up when they believe in Santa! Once they don't believe anymore it just isn't magic!Something goes away! I only wish I could go back to that time in my life!!

who would ever tell their children such a lie? santa claus? honestly, if there was reason i dont see why not, but there's no reason for telling ur kids that there's a santa claus. they'll have a messed up view of reality, and quite frankly (lol i said quite frankly! ahahah) santa claus doesn't really play much of a roll in the birth of jesus

December 25th is definitely a family day to most. Santa is representative of the giving and magic parents try to bring into their children's lives.

Definitely. No one could ever ever replace the responsibility of the parents ;-)

I agree with you completely.
Parents--if they are good--give us the best gift we can possibly receive: security in ourselves and confidence.
