Is Telling Kids About Santa Lying?

so this notion you're lying to your children if you tell them about Santa Claus is a strange notion I'm curious do none of these families have a tooth fairy do they tell their kids oh there's no such thing as a tooth fairy and is there anything wrong in having a tooth fairy in your house your kid loses a tooth and they find some present or money under their pillow the next day is that a bad thing are you lying to your child if you make believe make believe and lying are not the same thing it's beautiful to make religion fun for children it shouldn't only be fun it has a very serious component but it should be at least if you want your child to love it as well as intellectually appreciate it and you know how much I am for the intellectual approach to religion it's very important to have the joy especially when you are a kid it's it's not a wise argument you don't lie to your child okay this is is n lying to your child this is offering a make believe joyful thing that Society takes part in you know that a certain age they're either going to ask or figure out on their own that this is make believe but until then and even post then it's fun to have it's a good thing it's a healthy thing it's a happy thing Santa is a happy character can you think of a time in American history when they needed happy character more in their lives than now
