I don't like it, it ruins Christmas for future Christians and makes you focus on the wrong thing. I've spent half of my adult life working hard to focus on Jesus instead of the whole Santa thing. I don't have children, but if I did I would just treat Santa Claus as a story, and tell the kids the spiritual story of Santa Claus when they ask. ... See Morewould play it down as much as possible. And the kid's gift would just be from Mom and Dad. Yes, it is fun, but it is awfully disappointing when you find out the truth. It doesn't set a good example for children who already have a problem with lying anyway.
