Do you believe in Santa?
| Fri, 12-17-2004 - 7:10am |
Good morning.
I hope this isn't a touchy subject, but I met a two ladies recently who told me they didn't let their children believe in Santa. One woman said she didn't like lying to her children, the other said she didn't want Santa to get credit for what she did. They got me thinking about it. Are there other moms who don't believe in Santa? While we try to keep Jesus and giving as a big part of Christmas, there's just something fun and magical about Santa too. I guess I just wish I still believed : )

I teach my children who the real St. Nick was. Then I go on to add that God gave him everlasing life so that he could continue to spread his good work to the children. And we follow his example, however I expect my children to be giving all year long not just at Christmas.
I also teach them why we celebrate and go into the Story of Christ. Being very firm on the point that the holiday is about Christ and not Santa and toys
I don't feel as I am lying to my children. I hate when people say that I am. I call those people scrooge!!
I would kick my kids butt if they grew up to be scrooges!!
The whole santa thing is harmless.
i do believe in santa! (ok, it was very confusing to me once that my uncle came to the house on
