It just doesn't work. 'What happens to any non-Christian kid at this time of year?' The same thing that happens to the other kids during the <B>SEVEN</B> days of Kwanzaa (tho the kids are on "Holiday Break" during this time) and during the <B>EIGHT</B> days of Hanukkah! They learn patience and understanding. They learn about other cultures. They learn that having a different belief doesn't mean you can't appreciate other beliefs. One day where we incorporate a pagan symbol - Santa - into a Christian celebration that is celebrated on a pagan holiday - rather than in the Springtime when it probably occurred in order to keep from being persecuted. RELAX and enjoy some Goodwill towards men, women, children, etc.JoLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126072611019954362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-5183552300468935412007-12-21T11:37:00.000-05:002007-12-21T11:37:00.000-05:00But for a more matter of fact reason, would you wa...<I>But for a more matter of fact reason, would you want your child not believing and have them sitting in school surrounded by kids that believe and your kid tells those kids Santa isn't real?

Sorry I'm slow in getting over here to your place...I've had technical difficulties of massive proportions this week.<BR/><BR/>I wrote a post about MY belief in Santa and would love for you and sagey to come read it....it's titled "Santa Claus" and was posted at the beginning of December.MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-83302470935718793792007-12-20T22:25:00.000-05:002007-12-20T22:25:00.000-05:00Ditto on the wasabi peas.

She was 8, and I was almost 11. Does that make me evil, too?<BR/><BR/>Whatever, though, Santa's fun for little kids. I knew Santa didn't exist for a good year before I told my parents that I knew. Mom accidentally started writing my Christmas card from her and Dad in her "Santa" handwriting (which was the same as the Toothfairy's and Easter Bunny's handwriting). Whoops. :)Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232302529800718534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-8838324945704263202007-12-20T17:45:00.000-05:002007-12-20T17:45:00.000-05:00Wasabi is good, and bad, all at the same time.

ES promptly told me and all the younger kids and I whole heartedly agreed that she was crazy (even her brother). Then after we came in, ES sat down at Kevin's computer and Googled "Is Santa Real". He came upon a site that said Santa was not real. So he was horrified. Here is the gist of the conversation. <BR/><BR/>Me: If Santa is not real, how do all the presents get here?<BR/><BR/>ES: You don't do it?<BR/><BR/>Me: No only Mommy's and Daddy's of kids that don't believe have to do it since Santa doesn't bring presents to kids who don't believe. I believe in love, generosity, goodness, etc... all the things Santa embodies. Don't you?<BR/><BR/>So that lead do I believe in Monsters, and I said no, only good things. He said the only bad thing he believes in is the Devil. So I had to agree with that. Then he told me the Devil used to be an angel. Ahh he is learning so much and getting too smart for me!<BR/><BR/>So have you all gathered that it is a pet peeve of mine if someone does not tell the story correctly? I know you all got the correct gist but I had to clarify, i just can't help myself! :-)Sageyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237148177842028666noreply@blogger.com
