I remember my sister being angry when she found out Santa wasn't real. However, she did not ATTACK people after that. And she enjoys an AMAZING relationship with Jesus, now.
I don't tell my kids that Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy are real. We have an excellent book by Harold Myra that explains the origin of Santa Claus, and ties it back to Jesus. Pretty much the same as dmp does, I guess... they know about Santa, but they also know it's a "game."
Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be Your name!
