Noone ever told me that Santa was not real. I told my mom he wasn't real. When I was little, about six years old. I had a dream that Santa was hit by an eighteen wheeler and died. Later on my mom said something about Santa and I started crying and told her that Santa wasn't coming because he was dead. He had been hit by a truck. It's funny now but I was too serious then. I haven't believed in Santa since then.

As far as whether or not I will let my kids believe in Santa...
All that I can says is..at this point I do not have any kids but I don't see anything wrong with kids believing in Santa. After all, he did exist. Maybe not in the same way that he is portrayed but real none the less. He was a man that was selfless. He gave unto others and treated people with love just as Christ said that we should. When I have children, I plan to tell them the entire story WHEN THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND. Otherwise, Chris Kringle it is!!
