We wrestled with the Santa Claus myth ourselves many, many years ago. I’ll never forget the moment when our 6 year old son logically and methodically presented his case that the concept was implausible. When he then asked me outright if Santa was real, I could no longer continue the deception. So many friends and family members were horrified that I had done that.
Thank you so much for framing this narrative in the context of truth and honesty. It really all comes down to that

basic principle.
I applaud your bravery, Kathy! It's not easy to carve your own path. (And I applaud your very perceptive son, too... :-)
Thanks for sharing your story!
