Have you/do you plan on telling your kids that Santa brought gifts/watches over them/naughty/nice list deal? Or do the "elf on a shelf" thing?
I don't want to start a debate but I'm just so torn on if we'll do the Santa thing or not. I know, that when I was a kid, and I found out that Santa was not real I was devestated. I also didn't trust my parents for a looooong while after that. I don't want to do that with my daughter but I also don't want her to feel left out when it comes to her going to school and others talking about it.... I also wouldn't want her to ruin it for other children [whether on purpose or accident]. My step sister was the one that ruined it for me, for the sake of upsetting me![dohh :dohh: :dohh:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/doh.gif)
My daughter wouldn't understand the concept this year anyway but by next year, I'm sure it will come up...
Anyway, thoughts? Your own experiences? Thanks.
