Does your child believe in Santa Claus? The tooth fairy? The Easter Bunny? If not, what age did they stop believing?

I think my daughter pretends to believe in them more than anything. Since we're not Christian we don't celebrate Christmas and stuff, but our 50 billion relatives do. We don't try to make them think they're real though. She sees them in the store and knows it's a costume. Sees them on TV and knows it's a cartoon. In some ways I think that she thinks her family is full of crazy people with imaginary friends. My son will probably be the same way.

Sierra doesn't. I'm not sure about Will. I think he might know the truth. I am having a hard time deciding wither I should talk to him and tell him the truth though. I've become alot more religious in the past year or so, and honestly, how am I supposed to raise these kids and tell them it's wrong to lie and such when I am letting them believe the lie that is Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny?

Really mixed feelings on the whole issue right now.

Understandably. Robin Williams does a great bit on the jump holidays have taken from religious meaning to chocolate figures.
