Follow-up: For those with children, do you continue the ruse with your own children, or simply tell them it’s you who gives the gifts? Why or why not?

    I’ve never met anyone who could honestly say they were traumatized by finding out Santa wasn’t real. I’m 50+ years old.

    Unhappy? Yeah.

    Sad… Yeah

    Traumatized? No

      Many people don’t “say” they’re traumatized, or even know it. The fact that you’ve never experienced it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

      Have a day. 👋
