I want to keep the santa story alive in my family!
my kids will believe in santa as long as i can make them. it's much better than : here ya go, we got in line at walmart for 2hrs to get you this piece of shit toy, enjoy that for 5min... you spoiled kid!

It's not like this at all.
I don't buy my kids much stuff all year long. When my daughter asks for something significant she is always told that she needs to wait 'til Christmas (or her birthday). Christmas, then, still remains a very exciting time of year.
And what necessarily makes them not spoiled by believing in Santa Claus?
