Our children don't believe in Santa, but they do believe in the Toothfairy, if anyone had told them the Toothfairy didn't exist I would tell them otherwise. I mean of course they will work it out for themselves eventually, but that happens when they are ready for it, not when some smart aleck tells them to cause upset. If they weren't convinced with my explanation I would say well, if you believe then the toothfairy leaves you a present, if you don't believe they still take your teeth but they don't leave a thankyou gift for believing in their hard work.

Ditto--we don't do Santa. . .or the tooth fairy. (sorry Samual). But they know not to tell others. . .

I asked the same question to my grandmother when I was little. Her reply was "As long as you believe in Santa Claus, there is a Santa Claus." Kinda made me feel better.
I have also heard other parents say things like 'santa comes till you are (a certain age) and then lets your parents get you presents.'
Depends on the family I guess.
But in all reality it is the spirit of St Nicolas that we do this tradiation.

we tell ours "Believe if you choose to believe and youll have to see what happens on xmas morning if you dont!" Got it from my inlaws, to this day they have never told there kids there isnt one, that is what they say instead, their kids are grown with kids of their own and my sil said it to hers and her oldest is 13 and just stopped last christmas at 12!

See, my husband and I haven't completely agreed if Santa will be a part of our Christmas each year or not. Personally I want to teach her that St. Nicholas was real, but that Christmas is about Christ and family - not about getting gifts in stockings, and not teach her that "Santa" is putting gifts under the tree that we and God worked hard to put there. I don't want her to associate the day of which we celebrate the birth of our savior with something that will be called "fake" when she's older. I completely support imagination and being innocent - but I'm not in favor of associating something that isn't real with something that *I* believe is very real. I'm not sure how many people feel this way, that's just my feelings. Whether or not she'll believe in Santa to begin with is questionable..
But if someone did tell her Santa wasn't real, I'd tell her the truth. Why lie? Then again, that's exactly why I don't want to partake in the Santa part of the festivities to begin with..

I would tell them that child was just trying to be mean. We believe in Santa. It's that one innocent thing that I want to cling to as long as possible. Once they get a little older, we will teach them more about Christmas and the meaning, but right now, they are to young ((IMO)) plus for a full month before Christmas I get wonderfully behaved children
