That is excellent! I honor you for your commitment and for respecting yourselves and your children enough not to lie to them!

I don't have
children, myself, but I would do as you do. Never lie and have a great deal of fun. I believe lying to our children (even about fun things) teaches
them not to trust us.
I was just asking out of curiosity. Thanks for your response.
Sometimes, Benevolent Heretic, I and my wife are thought to be CRUEL by not 'allowing' our children to believe this lie about 'Santa Claus'.

Well, know that at least one other person thinks you are absolutely doing the right thing by being honest with your kids!
