That could be truee. I mean, how would you feel if you knew you were the reason your kids were crushed after they found out.

That's why I've gotta wonder about stuff like this. The Easter Bunny... WHat's he gotta do with Christ dying or the Harvest season? Why do we make these storys up just so we can dimean and lie to our kids. I know it's all ment as "white" lies and innocent fun, but then we wonder why our kids have truth issues...?

I agree completely YR. Childhood is fleeting. Believing in something magical is not a crime. Allowing that belief to be harbored is not a crime either. There is much to be said about being truthful.I preach honesty to him every day.I for one agree with allowing Sant to live during my sons youth. Am I being a hypocrite? You might say yes. Frankly I guess I am. The cold reality of life will set in soon enough.
If he can find solace in Santa, and his dreams are filled with elves, the North Pole and flying reindeer while he lays in his bed, then I will do everything I can to make it continue.
This teacher was completely wrong in my opinion.
