    I don't tell my kids about Santa.  The whole idea of Santa really creeps me out.  I mean, some guy coming into my house, eating cookies and leaving stuff.  Totally weirds me out.

    We don't really talk about Santa at our house but since she's in a daycare center now she has since found out about him and is so excited about it. Everytime she sees him on the TV she screams "Santa!". I don't like the idea of using "you better be good or Santa isn't going to bring you presents" to get to behave. Although I will admit when she is in her warrior princess mode (as we like to call it) it is very tempting.

    I already to talked to C about the whole Santa thing if/when we have kids. I plan to tell them at a young age Santa is not real. When I was a child it was like a big let down when I figured out he was not real and I don't really see the point in having them believe in him when in fact he is not real.  

    Jenn, you literally made me LOL!  When you put it like that, it is pretty creepy--I wonder how many kids have thought of it that way and been creeped out?? haha

    I figure we'll do something like tbvenable mentioned--tell G about Santa at a young age (what age exactly, I'm not sure...) and just make the whole Santa thing a fun addition to the real reason behind Christmas.  I do want him to be excited about seeing Santa and think it's fun, but I want him to  know Santa isn't the reason for Christmas.  
    I remember my mom explaining to me that Santa was more of a feeling/idea---more about the spirit of giving than of some old man creepin' around our house Stick out tongue. I'll have to ask her exactly how she explained all that again because I liked it...
