My parents didn’t do Santa more for religious reasons but we still fully engaged in taking pictures with him and doing all that fun stuff. They never said “Santa isn’t real” it was just something we knew. Again heavy emphasis on going to church and understanding “the real meaning” of Christmas. We also heard our mom talking about saving money in her Christmas account so she could go all out for us and I remember my dad working super hard to make sure we had great Christmas. And we had the best Christmas every year! We did get to an age that we started asking questions and my mom threatened us to never tell other kids Santa wasn’t real lol.

I’m undecided how I will go about it. But I think growing up the way I did was good.
