DH and I both love the Santa tradition and want to continue it with our children, but the deceptive aspect of it bothers me a lot. I don't want to ever lie to our children for any reason, so I'm not comfortable telling them Santa is real. BUT if we tell them that Santa is just make-believe from the very beginning, doesn't that take the magic out of it? And I don't want my kids to be the ones in the neighborhood ruining the Santa Deception™ for everyone else.<br><br>
How can we handle this gracefully while still letting our little ones enjoy the Santa story?<br><br>
Bonus question: For those of you who do the Santa thing, what are some cute ways to make it look like Santa has been in the house? A half-eaten cookie or two on the plate, boot tracks, etc. Any ideas are welcome!
