Appreciate it :)
Don't ruin it for them!! My son is 6 and still believes. The way he will find out is probably in school
Why wouldn't you give your kids the chance to just be kids and have a beautiful imagination? I will absolutely be carrying on the tradition!
Many parents do that!! There is nothing wrong my girls believe he is but know we're also buy them gifts
What my bf & I do is tell our son that we buy the gifts, but Santa decides if he's naughty or nice & then delivers them (or doesn't). I think we did this to remind him we do buy him gifts, & not just Santa & other family members. -believe me, he asked us before why we didn't get him anything.lol With this method, he has good behavior & thanks us for things "Santa" brought. (5yr old)
My 6yo believes in both Santa and the tooth fairy! We've always told her that Santa only brings one or two small presents for everyone because of how many children there are to send presents to but we buy her other presents too :)
My husband and I definitely want our daughter to believen Santa. We will say santa brought the gifts but one of the gifts she really wants will say from mom & dad.
Childhood is magical and believing in Santa is part of it. Enjoy these years with her!
Omg well thank you soo much!! All of this teally helps i just feel bad because sometimes she tells me that kids from school tell her that he doesnt exist and well that kinda makes me feel bad, she truly believes in him tho so that makes me happy & i wouldnt like to ruin that. Id like to keep the tradition going! :)
I did but my son's to smart. He asked me the other day if Santa is really real then why can't he see him put the presents under the tree but he can go see him at the mall. He also told me last year that the one Santa I took him to was fake. He thinks he was just a guy in a costume. I then drove 2 hours out to bass pro shop because they have a full santas workshop and reindeer so he could see the "real" santa. He's a stinker. He also told my mom he doesn't beleive in Santa because he once saw a commercial where Santa was evil. Idk when he saw this but I know the movie he is talking about. She said Santa wasn't going come if he didn't beleive to which he replied grandma, mommy, and daddy are going to get him presents anyway. I might have the talk with him next year. He's turning 5 in February. I don't get it though. I go shopping without him, have different wrapping paper from us and santa with names tags that say from santa. Mom and dad generally get three gifts and Santa gets the rest.
I never believed in Santa so its not something I would make my child believe in.
Oh my God! Santa's fake! Nobody ever told me. I'm 47 and still put out cookies and milk.

A lot of parents do tell there kids he is real I will however not be telling my children that Santa is real nor the tooth fairy that's just our preference tho
I like the idea of Santa only giving a couple gifts and the parents do the rest. I think that will be our new tradition. We were taught as kids to believe in Santa and I remember how much I loved it so I want to keep that good spirit alive. But I believe it would be less of a disappointment to the child if Santa's only giving him a couple presents anyways.
My daughter also asked about the 'fake' Santa's, we told her that because Santa is so busy at Christmas time he sends out his friends to see the children and bring him a list back to him :)
I was never told that santa was real and I would definitely tell my children that they are not real
My 5 yr old believes in Santa! She is very smart though and knows about Santa's in shops etc.
My reason is different for allowing her to believe, firstly childhood should be filled with magic! But also, my husband and I collect toys in great condition close to Christmas, wrap them and deliver them to children's homes in our region. The managers of the homes know it's us but the children don't. And we don't want them to either. It is nice to think others do this too, technically some unknown person delivers a present on Christmas eve, that's Santa isn't it?
I just wish we could do more then one home each year
This is something I will pass on to my daughter too and hope she continues it, it's very rewarding

Children should have an imagination and believe in magic and endless possibilities. Let her figure it out.
