Perhaps a little harsh...and I do appreciate others views and opinions. The cool thing about these threads is you post yours, others post theirs no harm done. I guess it really is to each is their own.
I just meant that santa is obviously a farce made up for the masses, so you will buy stuff. After all if santa came empty handed he would just be a burglar in a funny hat. Its weird to me that people think its ok to pull the wool over your childrens eyes for the sake of a day.
When does it become immoral to lie to your children? Never I guess. If its for the sake of their happiness, blow smoke up their ass their whole lives. Sounds like a great way to build trust. Again to each is their own. If you go against the masses, the masses will attack. Thats ok. In my book honesty is ALWAYS the best policy.
