RE: Teaching your kids about Santa Clause

We taught our kid right from the get go that santa WAS real, a long time ago. That's an oversimplification of course, but she was 2 to 3 at the time.
As she got older, we explained that he is an amalgam of different figures from different countries.
We also aught her that if she met a kid that DID believe in Santa, to let that alone. Which so far as I'm aware, has never been an issue.

She was never disappointed to learn the truth.
