are you going to teach your child about santa claus?

Yeah of course! Seeing them writing letters and stuff would be so cute

definitey. it was one of the best things about christmas when i was younger!

for sure, it made christmas feel so magical when i was younger. i remember always being so so terrified that if i done something wrong i wouldn't get any presents omg

yeah, actually can't wait. i want them to believe in everything like the toothfairy and the easter bunny!!! i am gonna try my hardest to make it all special.

yeah i will, it made christmas so much more exciting and magical, so hopefully it will for them too :p

I'm not sure, my parents were like most of you guys, pro-Santa (can't believe that I just put that...), but I don't have any memories of believing in him, and I always seemed to know that he wasn't real. Personally I wouldn't want my kids to believe in it because it just doesn't seem like there's any point, I mean, I'd rather my kids think that I bought the presents rather than an old man who's a stranger ;) But seriously, I'm not too into traditions, but I'm sure I won't get a say in it, whether it will be my wife who gets them into Santa, or the other kids they grow up with.

I'd do what my family has always done. Just flow with it, but not make a huge deal out of it. We were never told Santa was real, it was more an ideology and the magic of "where the hell did these presents even come from?" It allows for an imagination but also allows for some rationality.

If we were naughty we were just told we wouldn't get any presents - none of this "Santa doesn't like bad kids" rubbish, because you wouldn't get something for misbehaving whether or not there was a divine being in charge :P It sort of goes beyond the "only behave at Christmas" logic to" always behave all year round.

I wouldnt hide anything from my kids, its ahard world out there and they need to know what is what.

I would prob tell them at 8-10 ish

eer, I'd teach them that everyone believes in a paedo.

I was so scared of santa when I was young, "see you when you're sleeping" any kid with a brain knows that ain't right. So I wouldn't want to put my kids through what I went through.

Yeah I would, Christmas revolves around santa for kids and I would want them to experience that Christmas magic for as long as possible!
