Do you Believe In Santa?

To believe in santa is a choice. Telling a small child that santa is not real could damage them for life. Santa could be anyone, someone who brings presents and is nice could be Santa Claus. When I'm older my children will believe in Santa if they ask if he is real or not I will tell them the truth. First I will ask them what they think, Do you believe in Santa? When the man wrote into the news paper regrading the little girls letter he told her santa was a myth. What if her parents did not want her knowing that. In my opionin I do not believe his letter should have been published. His letter dropped childrens dreams and made them think twice in believing in Santa. If they can't believe in Santa what can they believe in?
