OK so I was thinking about Christmas and how funny it is that people have such a black and white view when it comes to Santa, like if I do the whole Santa thing my kids are not going to believe in Jesus because I lied about Santa WHAT???? I don't get it! this is just how I feel.........
kids grow up so quick!
period!
that is it!
what is so wrong with wanting them to believe in Santa I truly don't believe I am doing anything detrimental to there souls. Now I don't care if you do Santa or not so please if you tell your kids the "truth" tell them not to ruin the fun for the rest of us who are having FUN! also i think that if my kids grow up and find out the truth and then question the existence of Jesus because of it i am not teaching and showing my kids a true and living God who lives with us all the time not just during Christmas.
I have read this several times on other blogs so I thought I would give my opinion.
Santa is such a small part of our Christmas but it is a part, he leaves reindeer food in the fireplace and eats all the cookies and brings a small gift, but isn't the reason we celebrate. sooooooooo cant we all just get a long?!?!?!
Love your philosophy girl. If the belief in Jesus is that fragile there is something wrong in the faith department there. It's not Santa's fault! :)
