We personally are going to let them know about Santa and the story behind kris kringle because it's everywhere you go in movies and stores around christmas but my hubby and his brother grew up knowing Santa was a fictional character. my siblings and I were taught Santa was real I don't remember when I found out he wasn't I don't think I got mad but my husband and I are Christians so we are going to teach them the real meaning of Christmas and instead of saying this gift was from Santa we'll say this gift was from Jesus. I want Him to get the credit not some made up fat man in a red suit lol but all in all I do think it's fun for the kids it's just all in how you explain it to them. our kids will grow up hearing about Santa but more in a fairytale way not trying to get them to believe in something fake just to tell them a few years down the road he's made up like the easter bunny and the tooth fairy
im gonna tell my son about santa but not use the threat "if youre bad Santa won't bring you anything" i just think thats wrong. but to each their own.
I also feel like it's just creepy, letting someone you don't know hold your child & nasty too because he's held all those other children & you just don't know..
I guess, but there's plenty of other fun things to do at Christmas time (: @mamma_bear15
I think it's part of being a child. I got excited going to sit on his lap and tell him what I wanted, writing letters to him, putting out milk and cookies and trying to stay up and catch Santa SVD waking up super early to see all the presents. I plan on allowing my son to believe in him and teach him the true meaning of Christmas as well that's how my parents did it with me and my brother.
Yeah it does suck finding out he's not real but the time you do believe was fun, right?@princessmommy
Yes! Let him believe! It's a fun experience!!! And it's exciting!
I was devastated when I found out he wasn't real & was upset at my parents for lying to me. My fiancé had a horrible experience finding out he wasn't real. @mamma_bear15
I think it's an good/exciting childhood experience.. Writing letters to Santa, putting cookies out the night before for Santa & his reindeers☺️☺️... My SIL doesn't do this b/c she wants the credit but just think about how they'll only believe in it for a few years then eventually they'll realize it was the parents hard work all along. Lol I'm definitely going to do the whole Santa thing b/c Ima big kid & it's a wonderful childhood experience. ☺️🎅🏽🎄📮🎁
I think you should let him. Think about how you felt when you believed in Santa as a kid.
We taught them the true story of his legacy and how his name carried on. We wanted then to grow up and know the true meaning of Christmas. I never wanted my child to be heart broken because their friends got tons of gift that were expensive but they didn't. I never wanted my child to feel "Santa" left them out or didn't care. This Christmas wont be as large as last year for the fact I gave birth 5 weeks early. Baby wasn't suppose to come until Dec 31. I spent all day Thanksgiving in labor and had him early "black Friday" morning. I didn't go "shopping" They got the main gift they wanted which was new bikes and some clothes. Each parent has to make the choice for their family. What works for one may not work for the other. Each family has different religious beliefs also.
