We've not done the whole Santa thing with our daughter. I think that to let children believe in supernatural beings from an early age is a way to damage critical reasoning skills from the word go. That goes for the tooth fairy as well and all the other supernatural claims. I can find enough interesting things that are real and tangible to amaze my child that to cloud this world full of information with untruths and pollute the logical system of thought with illogical magic is not the right thing to do.


- see what i mean.
