Most people obviously know that Santa Claus doesn't exist, but most parents lie to young children every year that Santa Claus exists and stuff like that, and on Christmas day, the gifts "are mysteriously under the Christmas tree" and the parents say Santa Claus gave it to them (when the parents really know he didn't).
Should parents keep lying to them or not? |

I never believed in Santa and I always got jealous at the little kids prancing around saying santa is coming. I would get to the point that i would almost tell them Santa isn't real. It sucked. I think parents should do what they feel is best for the child. It's really not that bad if they lie to you in order for you to have a happy childhood. I mean their INTENTIONS were good.
