We never played the Santa thing and if you ask them now they will happily tell you that they have never felt that they missed out on a thing. They do not teach their children that Santa is the one that brings the gifts now either. We do acknowledge it as a celebration of the birth of Jesus but like you, that is a year long habit. It's more about family & some traditions. Personally, if I had my way and as a Christian, I would do away with the holiday completely. I'm disgusted at what it has become. I didn't lie to my children about Santa for the same reason...the lie. My pastor's wife had told me that when one of her girls was around 13 and she was teaching her something spiritually related she said to her daughter..."Rhonda, have I ever lied to you?" and the reply was.. "yes mother, when you told me that Santa was real." (Which had been told to her when she was very small).<br />Kudos. And I'll bet you do have a long to do list!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06624521413881728915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308807641909438248.post-61699613849326512562016-11-28T20:25:13.956-09:002016-11-28T20:25:13.956-09:00Hi Sarah, good to see you posting again.
