Will you tell your children about Santa Claus?

I definatley will and already have. I think that is an awesome tradition and thats the whole fun in Christmas! What fun would it be with no Santa?

I always grew up believing in Santa Claus and I loved it. How neat to think that there was someone out there who loved you just as much as your parents. My parents taught us just like Jesus Christ gave us a wonderful gift we too have the opportunity to give gifts to others. We always loved doing Secret Santa's etc. Santa Claus is a symbol of Christ and Christmas. It helps kids have faith and believe in something they can't see and Santa Claus represents that this can be a wonderful world. My parents never lied to us they only let us believe in what we believed in. Once we started asking them if he was real etc. they would say well we'll ask Santa and maybe this year you can help him with the gifts. So I got to stay up and learn that we are all Santa claus and every year after that we got to help with gifts and stockings for my younger brother and sister. (my mom always had more surprises after we went to bed though) To me believing in Santa is magical and it did help me become a better person and try to be Santa to others. I think it is part of the spirit of the season for children. Why should kids otherwise get gifts for no reason, besides a wonderful old man who wants to make them happy.

i have a 3 year old and i never had a doubt in my mind that i was not going to play santa in my house. there's something magical to both adults and children on christmas morning when they wake up and see all the gifts that weren't there the night before under the tree. as a parent, the magic is seeing how excited and amazed my daughter is and for the child the magic is that someone left them tons of gifts. i have no regrets about teaching her. and when she's old enough she'll learn the truth. no harm in a little bit of magic in her life for the time being.

A Big No, because Santa Claus is only an imaginative Character that never exist. I Don't want my children to live in fantasy. i just tell them the truth if they asked me about Santa i said He never exist. i just put it in their mind that hes like character in the story like snow white or cinderella.

When I was little I believed in Santa and so did my husband. But it's not something that we are teaching our child(ren). We do buy gifts, but to us, the most important thing about Christmas is Jesus' birth. That's the focus at our house. Not Santa.

I have never told my children about sant. They see it on tv and from books and other children. When they ask me I say "What do you think?" They always say yes (well the little one). I believe it is more fun for them and it doesnt hurt as long as you dont let it get too out of hand. I remember my oldest never really believed so I didnt force it but my middle one did so I told my oldest not to ruin it for her. But if they want to believe it doesnt hurt.
