Is it important to believe in the bunny?...

or Santa, etc.
When I was growing up, we never believed in any mythological gift-bearing creatures. My parents told us that we got gifts because we were loved, not based upon some arbitrary right-or-wrong points system. It was important not to share this information with other little kids, but that was pretty much it.

I recently got married, and my husband and I have been discussing the issue on and off about what we’ll do with our (currently hypothetical) children. he grew up in a Santa family and feels it’s very important for children to have that experience. I’ve always felt that the disappointment and disillusionment felt was worse than the sense of wonder, but maybe I’m way off-base. What do you all think?
