Default One for those of you with kids that still believe in Santa Claus...

The other day, my wife and I were talking about the fact that US air defense command organisation, NORAD does this every year and my wife mentioned they were talking about it on the radio earlier on, so I thought just in case you didn't know about this, it would be worth posting the link for anyone with young children, as it is great fun and will probably help to convince them that SC is really on his way!

My only question is this:

Why would you lie to your kids convincing them that a man who doesn't exist as jolly old santa is actually real?

Because we remember how great it was when we believed in Santa and know that it didn't affect us negatively?
