Is omission of truth the same as speaking falsely?

so if your kid asks you if santa is real, and you either don't answer or change topic, are you then lying by default or does that still fall under omission of truth??

Kids usually figure it out by about age 7-9. someone on the bus or at school will let them know the truth.

I told my kids at age 2 so I would get credit for the presents instead of Santa

Didn't you see that movie with Tim Allen? It explains all the xmas phenomenons. A chimney magically appears when no chimney is present.
