I think it is harmful for Catholic parents to use words with their children like "magical", and the Santa Claus nonsense. There are other ways to make Christmas special for children that actually strengthens their faith and piety.

We actually didn’t do Santa. I kind of half heartedly tried when eldest was little but I’m so crap at lying and I felt was going to put them off believing in real supernatural beings like God! And the Angels.

We never did Santa on Christmas.  We do St. Nicholas stockings on Dec 6.

Yes, USA.  It's 3000 miles from us to extended family.
