      My mom never let me believe in Santa, and as a child I thought it was very surreal how all the kids in pre k and kindergarten were talking about it. I remember kids like actually crying and bawling their eyes out when they learned about it and I’m really glad I wasn’t subjected to that.

      Depends whether you’re parents/family have made the magic of Christmas or the presents the focus. My kids certainly would care; I did too.

      Part of it is the illusion being shattered. Part of it is the realisation that your parents and every adult in your life have been deceiving you.

      I’m all for keeping it, though. Great fun while it lasts, and it keeps kids wondering “what other magical stories does everyone around me say they believe in but isn’t actually real?”
