Yes, we do Santa at our house but we don't make a big deal out of it. Our boys know the true meaning of Christmas and that is NOT Santa but I don't see any harm in pretending on Christmas morning with their stockings. It's all just in good fun. :=)
I voted no, but I wanted to clarify my vote. Our reason why not, was not because it was deceiving. We didn't do it, because we choose to focus the day on CHRIST. (Not Santa, and what he represents- toys.) They knew about Santa (how could any child not?) But Santa was put rightfully in his place, like Barney the dinosaur, or any other fictitious character. :0D

No, we never have. It's cool, they can't say "well santa will get it for us..." we can say, no, mom and dad can't afford it.
