At various times, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.

This classic question, originally published in May 2008 — What should you tell your children about Santa Claus?

Kaitlin delivers the ruling of the Council, joined by Djere, David, and Steve:

That he does not exist. He should be treated like any other fictional character.

 

David concurs, joined by Tom and Connie:

Treat him as make-believe; when your children learn the truth at some point, they may assume you made up the stuff about Jesus too.

 

Job dissents, joined by Chloe:

I will tell my kids Santa Claus exists because his essence is one of the few things most Americans have as a shared identity.

 

Erin dissents:

Go ahead and let them believe for a few years. They’ll get over the moment of truth.

 

Josh dissents:

He’s a great example of why you shouldn’t eat too many cookies, unless you want a jiggly belly.

 

MC-B and Mike played no part in the determination of this issue.
