A short & sweet thought today for all the parents & Scrooges out there.... Lightin' up already about Christmas!
I find it perfectly OK to let kids believe in Santa Claus, while also focusing primarily on the birth of Christ as the real joy of this season. Why do people find it necessary to just suck the joy out of the season for kids. I am by NO means leaning towards the side of the fence where you spoil kids rotten with every flippin' toy they ask for. But can we exercise a bit of balance please??
Telling little kids that Santa isn't real just seems mean in my opinion. Let them enjoy that season in their life....teach them the main focus of this time of year is the Lord, teach them that there are those who receive nothing & so to be generous, teach them to be giving & kind during this time of year.
Best believe my kids will see a present under our tree each year specifically from Santa, and bite or two taken out of the cookies left for him.
Thoughts?
