I made a decision if I have kids... no Santa naturally but make Christmas a "Celebration of Life" for kids and adults. So the kids don't feel left out like the Jehovah's Witnesses. Don't even have to make it on Christmas, hell I am thinking New Years or some such. First day of the New Year is a New Year of Life, Beauty, and Discovery!
As Far as Santa goes well... it's a little late for the above theory unless you are absolutely obstinate and adamant and utterly offended by any form of Religion well you should be straight up with the kid. Like I said above though he/she will be initially sad but inform them that they got the bestest Santa as a trade: YOU. You guys will have a Celebration of Life day. It's kind of nicer to think about than the principles of Christmas anyway to me. Instead of celebrating someone elses birthday your celebrating your love for the child and your spouse. Just a thought.
