No you're not going bananas :p. It's post #124.

I KNOW my children haven't put the Father Christmas 'lie' in the same basket as the sort of lies people tell for selfish, malicious or fraudulent reasons. Infact they're quite skilled at telling the difference between different lies, ie. telling grandma her meal was nice (lie), when it made...

Both of my kids loved these lies and acknowledge they made times like Easter and Christmas very special (we're not a religious family but still celebrate the holiday and family aspect of it). They particularly enjoyed the traditional yearly visit to the Botanical Garden's where Easter Bunny...

Thought about that one before we started the lying and figured we'd rather teach by example the different reasons (good and bad) why people lie and so we don't appear like hypocrites later on ;). eg. signed a note to say my son was not well this morning so he could stay home and study...
