I was raised not celebrating Christmas and knowing parents lie to their kids about it :]

The thing is, it's not told as a fairy tale. It's told as the truth. People go to big lengths to keep the secret of "Santa isn't real" from their kidd snd it often has devastating effects. It's just lies. Sorry.
My older brother probably told me around age 6. I cannot remember how I felt because I had already heard the chatter of other kids.
Being Santa is rooted in the real St. Nick I see no harm in this fairy tale. I still think of him as real in a great humans kind of way.
