Do you teach your child(ren) about Santa, etc.

Alyssa • ✨ Mum² 🎀 🏈 ✨ Fiancé to a keeper 💍
I have a 6 year-old daughter, and we chose to bring her up believing in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny. My s/o and I both believed as kids, and while it was sad to learn the truth when we were old enough, I don't feel that it harmed my psyche. A child in my daughter's class routinely taunts her and other children, telling her that none of it is real... She spent 2 weeks not believing in the tooth fairy, and it pissed me off because she hadn't even lost any teeth yet at the time! So I wrote her a note from the fairy, put some glitter on it, and "mailed it" to our mailbox. She believed again, and when her two bottom teeth came out, she was very excited to put them under her pillow for the fairy to collect. Well, the SAME thing happened with Santa yesterday; she came home from school, asking if her Elf on the Shelf was real, and if Santa was a lie. She LOVES the elf, and she loves Santa, and it makes me feel bad that she's not having the opportunity to be little and believe in these things.
