Will you tell your kids about santa?

[Explorator]

When/if you ever have children, would you tell them about Santa?

Or do you think the tradition will be dead by then?

Personally, I think I'd tell them the truth at around 7 - 8 years old.

i'd tell them that he is real yeah and let them find out for themselves afterwards that he aint

[AgnesIO]

What do you mean?

Of course I will.. the picture below is from Canada (1918), Santa isn't a new phenomenon - hardly something that is just going to pass..

What a bizarre thread.

No, if they find out about santa some other way then cool but I'm not going to tell them if he's "real" just let them think what they want.

You'll get called a liar as a parent whether you tell them about santa or not :L

I'll let my fiancée deal with all of that. Personally, I didn't see the thrill in it.
