That's
exactly how I feel. Kids only have their innocence and youthful awe of things bigger than themselves for so long these days. But it would be irresponsible to let a 13 year old still believe that Santa exists. You don't want a naive adolescent who has to cope with Santa not being real and puberty at the same time.
Now, if your sole focus on Christmas is gifts and getting the kids to act right so they can be on Santa's "Nice" list rather than the "Naughty" lists, then there's a problem. Point Blank: That ain't right! It's a responsibility that children are taught what the Christmas season is really all about. Now, if we could pass that knowledge on throughout the year....
