children work in absolutes.
I kill one deer and she lectures me about how sad Santa is and how bad I am for killing ALL the rein deer in the world.

So this year, will you buy yourself presents to prove you're not on Santa's naughty list (and thereby giving her the idea that she really don't have to be good to receive presents), or will you go without and prove your daughter right? xD
And stop killing deers.
@enkoujin: parents and relatives wish that all the time. No big deal.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
if she remembers this incident @ Christmas time, I may find myself the moral conundrum you describe lol.
Turn it into a lesson on separating games from reality. The earlier she learns that, the smaller the chances she will ever preach against games in later life.
Though it won't probably matter that much in the end; Santa comes from the north and in the north reindeers are regular food...
