There's no shame in changing your mind based on how it affects your child. That's not hypocrisy; it's adjusting your parenting to fit the child. If someday you are faced with another child who happens to be terrified of Santa, you will be able to actively reassure that child from the beginning that Santa isn't real, and it won't be hypocrisy then either. You can never know for sure what's best for each child until they get there.
