My wife is pregnant with our first... but her brother has 3 kids, the oldest just turned 7. They decided to tell their kids VERY early on that Santa was not real, and now I'm just not sure I want my kid to spend Christmas with them. Not only do they not believe, but they find it important to contradict any mention of Santa with "He's not real"...
I think kids want to believe... it's magical and I would think eventually helps kids develop greater imagination, etc. I'm looking forward to fostering this belief in our kids.
