I'm not sure how I feel about this post.  I don't believe in lying to children.  I think that, as long as they don't ask specifically about the reality of a Santa Clause or Easter Bunny, it's probably okay to indulge their fantasy.  However, if they ask me about the existence and/or reality of Santa, ... I can't lie to them.  I, instead, would talk about the meaning and pleasure that comes from giving gifts to loved ones and the legends of Santa Claus.  You can still participate in the magic of the holidays without leading your kids down a false path.  There's magic and wonder in the preparations for the holiday.  There's the magic of humanity - which seems to be a little nicer and brotherly during the holidays.  There's the magic that occurs as a family unwraps treasured ornaments to place them on a tree with hot cocoa and cookies - and, of course, the stories that everyone already knows but want to hear again.  Reality is wonderful...
