LOL people are crazy. No telling your kids the Easter Bunny and Santa is real is NOT a sin.
If you think that, you're an idiot.

Mathew 18:3 - "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

The only lie I see is people pretending to give a darn about Jesus and what he stands for.

a lie, is a lie, is a lie, no matter how one wants to 'sugar-coat-it', in order to be a
part of the herd...The BIBLE plainly explains to us that God-Jesus, HATES a 'liar', -
as a matter of fact, it is plainly stated that 'they' cannot/willnot = ENTER...

just always remember, Jesus' called, chosen, and elect, are called 'peculiar', ever
wonder why??? - They share His Heart's desire for their fellow-man...

Certainly. All lie is sin and Ha-Satan is the father of the lie (John 8.44). Thus parents become discredited before their children, who later came to believe that Jesus is more of a myth when parents try to tell them about Christ.

Children should know the truth in an early age. It is fun and games for the parents, but the parents are making them believe a lie. If you want your children to know that you lie to them, then God has given you that authority and He has also given you the responsibility to tell them the truth. Easter has nothing to do with eggs, which is a pagan thing, Christmas has nothing to with Santa. However there is nothing wrong with giving your children gifts our Father will do the same, but there comes a time that they should know the truth. I told my first born at 7 and my last born at 6.
