How do other parents talk to their kids about Santa? We decided not to say for sure he exists/doesn’t, but instead just say “what do you think?” and encourage the kids to imagine possible ways he could exist or not. Curious how others approach this.

I've been trying for the longest time to convince my kids that actually, Santa does exist. Unironically. Sure, he may not exist like you and me exist but he does exist. Yes, in our imaginations, but also more than that. He is the embodiment of the Spirit of Christmas. Santa personifies the abstract virtues of generosity, kindness, and cheer. And he doesn't merely symbolize these qualities, he actually substantiates them through his mythological actions of worldwide gift-giving. If you as a parent "play Santa, " you aren't merely pretending, but are participating in the hypostatic reality of Christmas spirit made manifest. Santa mediates between the magical/spiritual and mundane/material aspects of Christmas. He transforms ordinary generous acts into participants in something transcendent. My kids and I have fun bedtime conversations.
