Still it was not his place to tell them.

I never believed in Santa Claus the sheer logistics of one man going all around the world in one night is impossible.
IMO it's much better to tell the truth to the kids to better prepare them for the harsh realities and disappointments of life.

maybe that was true when we were kids, but now with the so-called internet, anything is possible. Hell, I have friends in Japan who tell me its already tomorrow there.

You're a mean One, Mr. Grinch

My little Girls are still Childrenz. They Believe in Santa, Fairies, Mermaids, Unicorns, and Magic. I'll keep them innocent as long as I can. I just tell them that different Families Believe in different things.
