Thank you Mauby for your...You make me laugh Megan! Thank you Mauby for your kind words. "Santa comes bringing presents, Christ will come to judge the world ..." Thats a hard juxtaposition to swallow! I do hate it when I'm the bad guy for accidentally letting it slip that Santa isn't real. Why is telling the truth so frowned on?Jacquelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952038602431921394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681791511339385746.post-64663559853519153362013-12-31T12:55:50.400-08:002013-12-31T12:55:50.400-08:00I can not get my head around why parents want thei...I can not get my head around why parents want their kids to get a load of gifts of some 'faraway fictional character', and never even be able to thank the parents for the gifts given.<br /><br />Add to that, telling you kids what is a blatant lie and then threatening blue murder to any unsuspecting children (aka, my kids!) who may tell other kids that Santa isn't real. Ohhhhh boy! How often we had to warn our own kids (against our own better judgement) not to dare tell other kids that Santa wasn't real... 'But,' they'd reply, 'He's NOT'. Ummmm, yep - kids more sensible than many parents.<br /><br />"Kids, God is real. He created this world. You must be born again. Santa comes with your presents every December. Christ is coming again to judge the world..." ... Anyone else see a problem here?!Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681791511339385746.post-66523568234883389252013-12-22T22:09:29.828-08:002013-12-22T22:09:29.828-08:00Well put, Jacquelyn.

But... enter the mother-in-law...). But who wants to give a stranger credit for the thoughtfulness put into choosing gifts for my children? Not me! And incidentally, I think there's a pretty valid reason that most babies and small children don't want to have anything to do with sitting on "Santa's" lap. Enjoyed your post immensely.
