Kids and Christmas
#3
RE: Kids and Christmas
We went down the road that family and friends buy presents and give them to Santa to deliver on christmas day.

I did not want my child running about the playground telling all the others that Santa isn't real at 4 and 5 years old. Sure to achieve angry knocks on our door.

Whist I agree Santa is not necessary, and the holiday is far better served by being a celebration of family and love (and presents and sweets) without the claptrap. Without the Santa belief, we felt they would be unable to appreciate the traditions the other children were enjoying.

I'm not comfortable with it either for the same reasons thou.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
