There will be plenty of time for them to face the realities, brutal and not, that life forces them to deal with. A parent wants to protect their children, and a little fantasy can be combined with the religious aspect of Christmas. Let kids be kids for a little while says this parent. I'm annoyed at those who say 'it's a big lie we tell our kids', it sounds like a millenial whine. So, zombies are okay - a lie as well since at present they don't exist, but not Santa stories??
