Will you allow your kids to believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Etc?

Question

I've been really conflicted about whether or not to raise my kid with those beliefs. Part of me feels like it's apart of being a kid. 
My husband, however, was raised not believing in anything like that. He says it's promoting lying.

Answer

Yes definitely. But like my parents, if asked straight up, yes or no is it rreal, I'll be honest. Always felt like I could trust my parents and I want my kids to feel the same.

Answer

I'm a hands-on person, Not only is it fun for my children but it also brings me join in the decoration and effort I put into it. I come up with so much games and creative ideas to enjoy. I was broughtup like that and will pass it on. When my kids grow up, It'll then be their decision on if they want to do it with their kids(family).

Answer

Its a part of the magic you believe in as a kid.

My son tried so hard to catch the tooth fairy! It never worked muahaha

I havent gotten any shopping done- but have to do the stockings. In my family we put stockings in nylon stockings on the bed with thr child. So wxciting to wake up to!

Answer

Yes. I am so excited to see the joy in my LO's face. I also think as a Christian, it is teaching them to believe in someone/something they can't see. I think it may be easier for him to believe in Jesus, someone he can't see, if he can understand or believe in Santa Claus/tooth fairy/etc.

Answer

We won't be doing any of those things with our kids. I just believe as a parent you are preparing your children for the real world, helping them understand how things work, how the world works, how physics works, etc...so teaching my children that there are weird exceptions to the way the world works and then telling them later "oops never mind we made it all up" just seems dumb to me. I never felt enchanted by the Santa Claus myth, I always felt as if the adults were making fun of me. We are skippping it!

Answer

Of course my little one will be told about santa, tooth fairy etc. People wonder why kids are growing up so quickly now! All the mystery and magic of being a child is being taken away from them!! I don't see a problem with him believing in santa and using his imagination to think about santa or other mythical figures! It's never even been a question!

Answer

I'm undecided on some but I do know that "santa" doesn't bring my 3 year old son a big expensive or electronic christmas gift. Santa usually brings pj's, a wooden type toy ( like a puzzle) and another small needed item. Mommy and daddy bring the other gifts because I don't want to explain to him why "santa" brought him a really expensive gift while his best friend only got socks or something... 
Not to mention "santa" is supposed to make his toys in his workshop not mass produced by big toy companies

Answer

Easter Bunny, no. Santa, probably and tooth fairy I haven't decided yet.

Answer

Nope. When I found out they weren't real, I was crushed. I cried my eyes out for days, and I hated my parents for lying to me. I refuse to bullshit my kid for ten years, and then watch as their world is ripped apart when they find out. They can have magical holidays WITHOUT me lying through my teeth.
