How did you take it when you finally learnt what's really going on with Santa? Or, if you're a parent, how did your kids handle the big reveal? (piefed.social)

How did you manage to get your kids to believe in Santa without lying about it to them first? I also don’t want to lie to my kids so I wanted to do away with the whole Santa thing, but my wife wants to keep him around so we decided on some sort of compromise position where we keep Santa but don't explicitly say he’s real. To me this seems untenable, but apparently not. So I’m interested to hear how you did it.
