I, too, have wondered what I ought to do about the Santa thing when Britt and I have kids. I never believed in Santa as a kid, and you should have seen the fits I'd throw when they'd stick me on the red-suitted man's lap. I didn't want any part of some old, fat, long-bearded, rosy-cheeked, bespectacled, fashion-starved lunatic who smelled like an old ashtray. He and his candy cane could go to fucking H-E-double-hockey-sticks as far as I was concerned.
I just think about a kid, MY kid, asking me, outright, whether Santa was real. I couldn't lie.... at best I could avoid answering, or answer ambiguously, but I know I couldn't lie.
I guess I have a couple years to figure out such details.
