The Danish method, to lie (a little less) about Santa Claus to children

Make people believe in Santa Claus without it being (too) a big myth? The Danes have decided to put their cards on the table while preserving the magic of Christmas. Goodbye parenting dilemma and welcome to the Scandinavian method!

For many daronnes and darons, Santa Claus is a disaster. Lie or tell the truth? The Danish method offers a middle ground: making people believe that Santa Claus delivers only one gift and that the rest comes from loved ones.

Avoid yule logs

Thanks to this method, avoiding lying (too much) while preserving the magical essence of Christmas is possible. Gifts don’t fall from the sky, but Santa Claus retains his mystical aura.


Furthermore, it can avoid children’s resentment (and feelings of betrayal) when they discover the deception, while still preserving the magic of Christmas. A good compromise! Ok Santa Claus, we love you, but the real heroes of distribution are above all mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers (and all those who want to give things as gifts).

This method allows children to say thank you to the true strength behind the gifts. Not to mention that even children can participate and offer gifts to those they love. Win win! Thanks Danes.
