Why is it "about time?" What makes this point in time any different from any other point in time?
I don't really think of it as lying. I don't think it's that deceitful. I think it's great to give kids something hopeful and fantastical to believe in.
I don't remember when I figured out that Santa wasn't real. But I know that I must not have cared that much. I probably determined that he wasn't real but that wasn't going to stop me from believing in him. Still hasn't.
