It's not pretending if the kid doesn't know it's pretending. Otherwise it's a lie. Which whatever, some people lie to their kids for fun or protection. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with it, I just don't understand why people get so angry about people choosing not to lie in that manner.

...somebody's angry about it?

Me, i'm baffled, because you say 'lie' like i told my daughter if she spun around three times and said 'abra cadabra!' she'd be immune to cars and could play in the street.

Dude, you are telling your child that an imaginary figure is real. It's fun but c'mon, it's a lie.

...so? When i tell my daughter that the song she's playing at me is 'cool' that's a lie, too - i can only take so many heartfelt, emo boys singing heartfelt (and poorly worded) emo ballads.

But it makes her happy to share her music and so why would i say otherwise? I like some of her music, i don't like some of her music, but when she's really excited about something, i'm not gonna harsh her bliss by dumping all over it.

It's only lying if you specifically say 'Santa is real', though. Which I don't think my parents ever really did. We went through the whole thing of leaving cookies and milk and writing letters and going to see mall Santa's and stuff on occasion... But like the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, it was all just one big game, y'know? That as I got older I just naturally sort of realized wasn't real more and more, but still thought was a lot of fun.

I dunno, I guess I just can't understand people who think their parents were lying when they played at Santa and stuff with them.

(I actually had the same experience with God, actually. I used to go to Sunday School and pray on occasion and stuff, but then I kind just fell out of belief the same way I did with Santa. The Bible and stuff was just another set of stories like any fantasy book I read.)
