A parent's checklist: When it's time to have a serious talk about Santa
Briefly

When a child asks whether Santa is real, it depends on their developmental stage; younger kids usually care more about the presents than the mechanics behind them.

Keeping the Santa myth alive can be fun, with parents hoping to allow their children to discover the truth in their own time.
