I think that if I had been asked wether or not I believed in Santa Claus, Easter Bunny etc. I would have told you no, but I loved the game of it all. My parents treated like a game, telling me that santa was coming with a little wink. I knew that they bought the presents and stayed up late to put them under the tree, and I'm sure they knew that I wasn't falling for the fat guy in a red suit story. It was a game we played, just like hide and seek. So when I got older it was easy for me to move on and leave that part of my childhood behind, along with stuffed animals and peek-a-boo.
I think that playfullness is important for kids when aproached as just that, playing.
