I struggled with this, too. This is the conclusion I wound up reaching after handling it...poorly. Feel free to check my math:https://onepeterfive.com/ethics-jolly-old-elfland/ …

Speaking from a secular POV., I really don't think kids believing in Santa's is a bad thing. It's a sign of their innocence and I feel it's wrong to take that away from them. They'll grow up and stop believing before you know it, so let them have that small bit of joy.

I know that my statement wasn't really on point with what you said, but I felt like it should be said, so I did.

Same here. When they suspected that it was me and Mom I wouldn’t deny it, so that eased the transition of belief given how they here things elsewhere.

Santa is an important truth. The truth is a story doesn't have to be "real" if it serves its purpose. Belief is powerful, with or without evidence.

I make no friends in church because of this belief. It's a bit odd.

I did what my parents did, and I strongly recommend it. Children love games. We played Santa. We never pretended he was real, but we still told stories about him and left him cookies and such. The result? All the joy and none of the disillusionment.

We do the traditional St Nicholas activities and tell the story about him slapping a heretic in the face.
