We have santa. It started for me when DD was little as I had older stepchildren (my XP's kids) that believed in santa, so I couldn't really rip that away from them and do my own thing. But over the years, I've found my own meaning in the traditions, DD loves the charade and the magic it holds for her, which to me is something special - an innocent belief that will pass as she gets older, but hopefully not *too* soon.

But I do agree go with what works for you.
