To me, the idea of teaching my daughter to believe in Santa is the same thing as telling her that she better believe in God or she's fucked for eternity. I don't see any point. My wife and I have agreed to present ideas to our daughter, and if she chooses to believe in them, fine. If she's curious about them, we'll answer questions to the best of our abilities. We aren't going to force her to believe in anything, though. That just doesn't make any logical sense to me. She can believe in the talking walnut for all I care, as long as she has a good set of values and can make a good life for herself when she grows up. I don't care where she gets those values from, as long as she has them.
