Funny thing is- we NEVER told our kids presents were from Santa when they were little. I felt so guilty doing that! We still put out some cookies and milk, but it didn't take too long for my kids to figure out on their own no being could fit down our chimney. Funny thing is, now that they are 15, 19 and 22, we put "from Santa" on every package under the tree....lol.....Beth Coultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725084047646351485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-31659413394267736612009-12-09T13:18:40.495-05:002009-12-09T13:18:40.495-05:00Ha!

She would have looked shocked and said, "Of course he's real!" and that would have been that.

The women there are absolutely amazing and every year we get to hang Christmas ornaments from YABI with the Star of David or a Dreidel on them. Those are my favorite ornaments. <br /><br />Anyways, I think it's good to for kids to be exposed to lots of different religions. Even when they're exposing Santa.

I threatened him with no presents if he blabbed to his classmates. For the most part, he kept his mouth shut, but I did get the stink-eye from several mothers at the holiday party.Tara McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246124060126729229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-61161596626928396762009-12-08T21:05:21.103-05:002009-12-08T21:05:21.103-05:00oooohhhh sticky one! what did you say to her?

But she's smart and she thinks she's ...LOL! But she's smart and she thinks she's doing everyone a favor! Bless her heart. There is a wonderful book by Harold Myra called, Santa Are You For Real? We used to carry it in our bookstore. My son started to question the whole Santa thing too. But then he asked me, "Mommy if Santa isn't real, then is God pretend too?" I was like, Oh my! We need to talk, baby! This book tells the story of the real St. Nick and how we honor his memory by celebrating the tradition of giving. Perhaps if the teacher calls, you could suggest the book? Maybe it would help to extinguish the flames. <br /><br />Merry Christmas!Clementinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745982305618408952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-53650401815672803072009-12-08T17:32:17.239-05:002009-12-08T17:32:17.239-05:00Poor thing!

It's a difficult position for her to be in, so I feel for her. <br /><br />I think some parents get too up in arms about the innocence of their little children.
