Santa

Santa and Little GirlI was around nine when I was told Santa Claus wasn't real.


I was about nine when I found out Santa Claus wasn't real, and I was furious with my parents. Honestly, I never fully trusted them after that. If they could fool me so easily about Santa, what else were they lying about? When I had kids, I always told them the truth — Santa isn’t real. But I also made sure they didn’t spoil it for other kids because some parents want their children to believe in the jolly guy from the North Pole who delivers presents to the 'good' kids. Now, in 2024, are parents still telling their kids Santa is real? Is it really healthy to encourage kids to believe in things that aren’t true?
