What is Meredith Masony's opinion on the role of Santa in modern parenting?

Meredith sees Santa as part of the magic and imagination of childhood, not something adults should rush to strip away. In her view, kids already grow up too fast, especially with social media and “reality” constantly in their faces.

She believes:

• Santa is real in the sense that he represents wonder, joy, and tradition
• It is not another adult’s job (like a teacher) to “break the news”
• Parents can decide how and when to handle Santa with their own kids

At the core, Meredith wants kids to keep believing in magic and stories for as long as they can, just like she encourages imaginative play and fantasy over screens.
