I allowed my son to think on his own. I did not support or oppose Santa, the Easter Bunny, and The Tooth Fairy. He figured out by age 4 that it was bull***t without my influence. If he would have asked me at any time, I would have told him the truth. My priority is to teach my children the real meanings of Christmas and Easter, which is the birth and resurrection of Jesus. It is important to me that my children have discernment in all things, trust me, and see me as credible. That is why I cannot, with a good conscience, bull***t them with a elf. Having said that, to each their own. I will not answer for anyone but myself.
