Why do we lie to our kids?

When you stop believing he stops coming.

The lie that Santa Claus is real and delivers gifts to every child in the world in one night. Is that not a lie that is told to kids? Whats a good lie, vs a bad lie?

Who stole Your Thunder! Geesh

Because it's every kids favorite holiday and often most cherished memories. Unless they have a lazy parent that ruins it for them.

What lie?

[andre3k]

When we let them believe or even propagate the belief in Santa Claus at Christmas time. I'm guilty of it, but it feels weird to teach my kids the importance telling the truth and honesty and then lie to them about Santa Claus.
