"When does a fun, fanciful tradition risk becoming harmful deception? How can parents who typically play a large and active role in fostering a belief in Santa Claus ease the transition to disbelief?"
"One of our major findings was that even when the truth about Santa came as a disappointment, it was typically not a lasting one. Although roughly half of the children and adults we spoke with reported feeling some negative emotions, like sadness or anger, those feelings tended to be short-lived, and children often shifted their focus to other aspects of the holiday season that they enjoyed, like gift-giving and family traditions."
