When do parents tell their kids no when they ask for something extravagant, most usually say that they will simply ask Santa for it. So where does that leave the parents? Kelly Burgess wrote about how the myth was more trouble than anything else. But is that really how it should be? Shouldn't Santa be something exciting and happy rather than a parent's demise during the holiday season? Some parents, like Burgess's friend, simply tell their kids from the get-go that he is not real, but is that really fair to the kids who miss out on believing? The kids who find out that he really doesn't exist are sad, but get over it. In my personal opinion, I wouldn't trade believing for anything. But for the parents, it seems like some can't seem to stand the holiday tradition of hiding things in the rafters or writing the gift label in the opposite hand.
