Re: Santa

(Anonymous) 2013-11-16 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
when i was a kid i thought santa was real and eventually i realized he wasn't (because i realized that the From: Santa presents were in my mom's hand writing, and if they were from Santa, why would they be in my mom's writing), with no harm to me. after i got that he wasn't real, the idea of santa was still fun to me, so my parents gave me a present or two from santa for years after i stopped believing. when i have kids i'll likely tell my kids that both santa and the parents give presents and

and i do get that it pretty much is lying to kids, but there's something about the whole santa experience that i loved as a kid before and after believing (even though i was never one for going to see him in person, i was always too scared) so i couldn't not do it to my own kids. a couple years ago i worked as an elf with the mall santa here, and i loved seeing all the kids' reactions to santa. my parents did the tooth fairy with me too and i wasn't traumatized with that either. there are lots of things that kids believe when they are young and realize later that they aren't true.

and i've never been religious in any way fyi
