I think there's a difference between figuring it out yourself and having your parents deliberately skip it because it's 'lying'. Like give me a break. There's no cannibal sitting in a prison therapy chair rocking back and forth saying 'BUT THEY LIED TO ME...'
I get that some don't do it for religious or personal beliefs but I've never heard because it's lying. So I guess the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and animal heaven are all out too? That's what's sad. It's a fun part of being a kid!
I guess there's some level of difference, but not really to me, if that make sense? Either way, I do not remember believing in Santa.
There's no one in a therapy chair because of being lied to about Santa, but there's also no one in a therapy chair because their parents skipped the Santa thing.
We're going to do Santa, but I just don't think it's a big deal either way.
I felt guilty last Xmas because our dd was legitimately scared at the prospect of a strange man coming down our chimney and into our house while we were sleeping. Weird concept. This year, she's older and wiser so we'll see if she figures it out.

My husband was terrified of Santa as a kid for the same reason. I still judge my MIL for not telling him he wasn't real. She wanted him to believe in Santa for her own sake.

Never have I ever placed presents under the tree before the entire family goes to bed on Christmas Eve... Even though we're all over the age of 27 and Santa has graduated from our house.
