Well technically we are lying to our kids from day one. However, I was quite creative in my approach. If asked I never really said yes or no. I put it back on them to figure out. I said things like what makes you think that, or how do you think presents get under the tree. How can we go to grammas and when we get home, presents are under the tree(I ALWAYS forgot something before we left for grammas and unloaded the presents when i went back in to get the forgotten thing). Once we sprinkled reindeer food outside on the snow and when we returned it was gone. (the dogs loved the reindeer food) When they found out and out said MOM are you Santa, I said yes. My eldest said to me "mom let's not tell Heather and i can be santa's helper." worked for me!
After they found out about Santa, then it was What about the Easter bunny, what about the tooth fairy. OH MAN!!!!
Of course the Easter bunny and Santa still come with the coolest stuff!!!
