So if we don't tell kids about Santa for the sake of "keeping it real", is there anything wrong with going the next step and showing them things that are without a doubt real, such as burn victims, starving children, war casualities, etc? Isn't it lying to keep stuff like that away from the kids?
What I'm trying to say is that having kids face our cold reality at such an early age is not necessarily a good thing. I think the wonder a kid has in believing in Santa outweighs the disappointment they have when they realize the truth, at least was the case for myself.
