how do i ruin a kid's idea of santa?
<|assistant|>
By pointing out the obvious—Santa isn't real. While this can be a difficult conversation to have, it's important that kids understand it's okay not to believe in things just because grown-ups tell them to. Additionally, it's best to have a dialogue with them, explain why you feel like it's important to dispel the myth of Santa, and allow them to ask questions and express their thoughts and feelings.
 
By being honest and sensitive, you can help your child gain a healthier perspective on fiction, truth, and critical thinking. And with a bit of patience, you can help them maintain their sense of wonder and excitement for holidays to come.
