It’s so cute that she trusted her dad that much, and this cemented in her mind that her father would never lie. 😭

The security of knowing a man that will never lie is better than any Christmas secret

He never wanted his little girl to think she couldn’t trust him

If you're old enough to ask the question, you're old enough to know the truth.

I don’t like that lying about Santa is normalized. Can’t he just be a mascot of Christmas? I felt so betrayed as a kid finding out that not only did adults lie, but it was socially encouraged 😌

we just told our kids that "Santa" is the spirit of giving. anyone who feels enough love in their heart to give a gift is "Santa". 🤷‍♀️

How do you balance the fun of believing in santa without the betrayal of your parents deceiving you? I remember being very upset when I found out.

I think once your kid starts asking, it's close to "over" anyway. It's already in the back of their mind and it's so much easier to catch on once it's a thought in their mind.

My parents always said “if you believe he’s real then he’s real” which wasn’t helpful at all

I was ok with Santa not being real but then I asked if Rudolph was. that answer crushed me.

There’s something in between. You can be vague! Or at least kind.

I always said that when they are old enough to ask that question they are old enough to know the truth.

I never believed in Santa and I genuinely believe that is why I still love Christmas more than my friends and family. I never had the rug pulled out from under me so I always used my imagination and accepted he was just an idea.

When my youngest asked if Santa was real (don’t remember his age) I told him No. He took it well. But then he asked about the Elf. When I said the elf wasn’t real, I thought he was gonna lose his mind 😭

In hs psych that was one of things that was brought up. Santa is one of the first lies your children remember. Do you want to start your relationship with your child knowing that they can’t trust you?

I had a little boy in my class who told us. My dad was the same. I asked him also, bc I knew he wouldn’t ever lie to me. He told me the truth. It was like, ok, well, ok- there goes that 😂
