Santa Isn't Real?

I only say this because I didn't even think about this until a few years ago- it's amazing how many lies we tell everyday and don't even realize it. I think it is weird that so many people tell their children about Santa and the Tooth Fairy.  I find it odd that we go to such great lengths to keep children believing that Santa is real, and then we feel like they've lost their innocence when some bully at school ruins it for them.  As Christians trying to teach children about honesty and truth, or even just as a follower of Christ, we should not perpetuate this lie.
