I Just Don't Know

Telling Lily that Santa is coming is contradictory to how I try and parent. I plan on answering her questions as honestly as I can. I do not want to try and avoid hard or uncomfortable subjects like death, sex, drugs or anything else that can be hard to talk about. I think that she has the right to know if she asks. Obviously I will go about these hard issues delicately but I will go to them. But Santa? I use to love thinking that he was real and I don't know if Lily would choose to have that feeling or not. I just don't know. Do I lie to her but possibly give her a great memory?  Or do I ask her to talk to someone else about him when she asks me? I just dont know......
