How about let children believe in magic for the tiny window when they are old enough to and still young enough to. Your argument is fuckin retarded.

I'm a Christian, so maybe that is why... You tell your children whatever lies make you feel good about yourself. They will survive this hell world or they won't. Not my problem, but thanks for stopping by. Hope Santa was good to you this year. Take care and may the Lord have mercy on you.

Life is hard. There is no magic. The sooner they realize that, the better prepared they are. Now, they can fantasize about reindeer and red bearded guys all day long, but I would not be the one telling them their fantasies are real when they are not. Every life form in this planet is passing to their offspring the raw reality, except humans, who are teaching their kids that some old man comes down the chimney to give them presents because they've been such good kids. Just love them and support them. Don't lie to their faces. Or do. I do not care, they are not my kids.
