[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6852, member: 701"] The bottom line to me was that in the end Santa is a lie--a fun one for most children with a lot of room for positives--but in the end a lie parents tell kids. I just wasn't willing to let my first child suffer a lot of emotional distress for the purposes of perpetrating a lie. We gave the boys the option to "make believe" Santa but difficult child had huge anxiety issues and the prospect of some big guy entering our house at night when we were all asleep had no positive aspects at all. Had my sons not had issues we would have had a ball with Santa (especially my daughter) but for us it wasn't worth it. [/QUOTE]
