On Santa Claus

In our family we decided not to do the the Easter bunny or Santa Claus with our kids. We just didn't want to confuse them when they found out they weren't real and leave them wondering if it was like that with Jesus as well. We also didn't want to distract them from Christmas being Jesus' birthday and Easter being about Jesus' resurrection. Here's yet another good reason for us! I love what Noel Piper said about Santa Claus! ;-)
"First, I think children are glad to realize that their parents, who live with them all year and know all the worst things about them, still show their love at Christmas. Isn’t that more significant than a funny old make-believe man who drops in just once a year?"

*However, it never stopped us from having their picture taken with Santa and Uncle Ryan!
