I think that people aren't thinking clearly when they believe it will devastate their children to find out the truth. Honestly, I was never crushed by the realisation. I was probably 8 by that time when I found out, and I was just like "Huh, I guess it makes sense..." It was never something horribly bad to not have Santa. It just became a joke with my parents. Those who say that it'll kill their children's hopes and dreams are being irrational if you actually think about the fact of the matter.
