I, for one got this one knocked out many years ago.

As soon as both of my daughters where able to understand(around 3 years old). I told them that all of those characters are made up and that parents lie to their children about them existing. I also told them that I wanted to tell them the truth about this to show them that I would never lie to them.
I believe that has helped them alot. They really like telling their friends now that their dad told them Santa Claus was a fraud when they were 3. Plus, back then, they felt like they had the inside scoop.

HAHA! Do you think I was wrong?
