I think a better question will be, when you have kids, do you will make them believe in santa, or not ?
Being a Christian, I not only want to portray to my kids what our faith believes to be true about this season, but I also want to share with them the truth about Santa Clause. For the past couple of years (as my daughter in now nearly 10! ugh.) my wife and I have struggled with her outlook on the season. We’re not anti-santa, we just want her to know the truth! My wife came across this article the other day and forwarded it on to me and a few others that she deemed fit. Its a great read and really tells a lot of the history and true story of Saint Nicolas.
I posted the article on my blog.
Hi Brainfuel!
I did. But one day my mother let it slip that the easter bunny didn’t really exist. And it all unravelled from there.
When I have kids, hmmm. Wow, I dunno. I guess it’s a nice fantasy. I’m a big believer in magic so if it creates a little magic for them then maybe 🙂
Whoops! Meant to send the link to their site, too! Don’t mean to spam for my own site over here. Sorry, Chris! Bad form…

That St. Nicholas Center site is pretty nice. I like the layout and liberal use of images.
What do you mean, “DID” we believe in Santa Claus? Is there something about Santa you’re trying to tell us?
No. But Santa believed in me!
He doesn’t?
What do you mean by believe in him ….are you saying he is not real.
