I'm not worried about it at all. Like I said, I already agreed to go with my wife's decision. Or, maybe we'll go with some sort of compromise. I'm sure we'll go with the flow. I know it will turn out okay regardless of the direction we go.
This sort of stuff MUST be overanalysed, though. If we don't think about this stuff, then we're basically just flying blind when it comes to the morals we're teaching our kids.
This thread is an intellectual and moral exercise. I'm an introspective person. Introspective folk like me are of the belief that you can't overanalyse anything. It's just how we grow as people.
The Santa thing is just <i>one</i> example of many other potential lying situations. Thinking this through means I will be more centered when other similar situations (that one can't plan for) come up.
