Parents Discuss The Reasons They Aren't Doing Santa For Their Children

Parents are discussing why they aren’t doing Santa for their kids, after one mum said she didn’t like the idea of “lying” to her son.

The Mumsnet user said her son is 18 months and she and her partner have decided not to do Father Christmas, but will still get him presents.

“I’m wondering how we could play this and how we explain it without making him think he’s missing out when, for some reason, Santa is visiting other children and not him,” she wrote on 14 December.

“Anyone got any experience or ideas?”
