What do you think about the fat old man that gives us presents every Christmas?
Should we be telling this lie to our kids, or is it a good thing for them to believe in?

I don't see any problem with it. I mean, so many people have been told the lies and then when they find out, get over it. The odd thing is, I don't get why really you need to make him some magical being/person and such, when it's the presents that get children excited.
But yeah, didn't hurt me. But then, I did go round telling everyone in nursery (I was about 3 I think) that Santa wasn't real. Yes, I got told off by the teacher(s) and made many little kids cry. =D

I never believed in Santa, but at least the idea of it keeps little kiddies' imaginations alive.

Letting kids believe in Santa is probably good. It gives them something to keep them always happy before they turn into depressed adults living in the real world. Plus, if we got rid of Santa, we'd have to get rid of the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, etc.

Why not? Santa helps kids maintain their innocence....at least for a while. Basically what Chris said.

So smart that even now, you can't tell the difference between "of" and "off", and also "to" and "too".

I don't believe in lying to kids, period. I don't hate on people for telling their kids about Santa, but I won't do it. No point.
