I think you should say that its up to her to figure out . I wouldn't lie to my kids just so they can be happy imagining santa, I think its wrong. But you can tell her the story of Santa Claus, and if she believes it for a while or enjoys thinking about it, that's great. If she grows skeptical, then that's acceptable too. Basically give as much freedom to your kid as possible, I think that's what I would do.

I've always wondered what i'll tell my eldest daughter when she's old enough. I think i'll go with some version of this:

"Santa Clause is real. He may not be the person who flies from house to house, but Santa is the spirit of Christmas. Which means he brings happiness and joy to people around the world by giving gifts and making smiles. Legends suggest that the spirit comes from somewhere, but where is it?"

that way she'll wonder and imagine, which is what kids should do.
Wheinlann!

i got in huge trouble when i dropped that santa wasn't real to like 8 year olds. i felt like a monster that day.

im like you, i hate people who are like "this is real or that is real". would i be a good parent then if i dropped that on my kid? i think so. we are only educating our kids in the proper manner. what if they grow up to believe in santa? would they mail their kids wish list to the "north pole with santa and his elves" only to find out the next day that they got nothing for christmas?

in other words, do what you feel it right. if you dont want to give your kids nightmares or put them through shock, then option 1 is best.

After I found out there was no Santa Claus Christmas got a lot less exciting. Stopped believing pretty late around 12.
But yeah Christmas picked up again a couple years ago when I could legally drink with the family lol.
