@Jean – I understand your dilema – the only thing important about Christmas is that we leave CHRIST in the word – spread the joy and wealth of the holiday season and help those that are less fortunate.

I never taught my children that Santa was real because I remember when I was growing up just how bad I felt when I knew he was NOT. I did not want my children to feel that hurt plus knowing their parents had lied to them all those years. Yes, I do love Christmas and giving gifts but mostly because of the gift Christ gave us because that is what it is all about, nothing more, nothing less.

hahahahahahaha the thought of poor old Santa and his rein deer toasted and roasted…..well… yes once a year a miracle happens lots of little children all over the world get to believe in, from the heart that something good is theirs alone to believe in, a magical moment where the heart is pure and illuminated by love born of innocence. That on that one night of the year “Santa Claus is coming to town”

I know there is always two sides to every story; let this one go away…I will be waiting for Santa just as I always do every year, and he always makes it so I am not worried…Merry Christmas!
