In fact, I tell as many kids as I can that there is no Santa Clause and that God does not exist. They usually cry but I figure it's doing them good and will help them to be free thinkers as they mature.
I just dropped the bomb on RedShoes daughter last week. He was not happy about it but 2 days after she started asking some really serious and interesting questions about life, the universe and the meaning of it all. Mission accomplished.
