We have an issue where several family members do not respect our wishes regarding what we tell our children about Santa Claus. We choose to tell our kids that he is not real and that their presents come from mom and dad.
At Thanksgiving multiple people asked my kids what Santa was going to bring them. my kids laughed and said Santa isn't real silly. The relatives then proceeded to tell my kids that if they didn't believe in Santa they must be very naughty and if they don't believe in Santa they wouldn't get any presents at all. My oldest is four and my youngest is two and they were seriously upset about this.
