Re: Santa

[cassandraoftroy]

*shrug* I guess I just don't get what's more fun about being tricked into believing something that isn't true. If it's about whimsy and pretend, a kid can get just as much enjoyment out of it knowing that they're pretending, and without the added stress and cognitive dissonance that can arise. (Speaking from my own childhood, I had erroneously convinced myself that if I stopped believing in Santa, I wouldn't get presents anymore, so I ended up trying to force myself to believe even though it no longer made sense. I could've done without that.)

It's a pity it was such a downer for you.

I got enjoyment both out of believing in Santa, and then realizing it wasn't true and keeping it up for my little sister. The pretend is fun either way, as long as there's at least one person in the house you're pretending for.

I was certainly not traumatized by realizing Santa wasn't real; I got the impression that it was just a Thing that adults told kids and my parents weren't doing anything out of the ordinary. I never felt betrayed, lied to, or otherwise upset. *shrug*
