As a child, my parents fed me the old St. Nick story until I was about 13.  I had long since known the truth due to my investigative talents.  I was a professional at raiding cars, underneath beds, and the outside  storage unit.  And now as an adult and parent myself, I have always wondered how long should I feed my child the Santa story.  How long should kids go to the mall and tell Santa what they want in hopes that he will come by on Christmas Eve night with his reindeer to deliver beneath your tree.

I believe in telling the truth and my child knows that is one thing I do not tolerate – A Lie.  Yet, we live a lie each year that we tell kids about a chubby bearded guy who comes down your fireplace (if you have one) to bring you gifts.

However, enough of me and mine.
