Follow-up: For those with children, do you continue the ruse with your own children, or simply tell them it’s you who gives the gifts? Why or why not?

Same to you! What’s a little trauma, right? They’ll grow out of it.
If that’s enough to cause them trauma, I kind of feel sorry for any kid with that thin of skin.
Being lied to by your protector and guardian is enough to traumatize anyone at that age. You shouldn’t be shaming the people who get hurt by it, you should be shaming the people that do it.
I’ve never met anyone who could honestly say they were traumatized by finding out Santa wasn’t real. I’m 50+ years old.
Unhappy? Yeah.
Sad… Yeah
Traumatized? No
