All in perspective. I haven't read anyone here that attempted to try and tell another parent why they should/shouldn't do Santa with their kids, so I was taking it as being a respectful discussion.

Actually, if you look back through the posts...there was at least one reference specifically to the point that to not believe or have children believe in Santa is to "deprive" them. Those were the things I was referring to. Talking about each persons indiviual experience of Christmas....that is just beautiful and I love reading everyone's stories!!
