I grew up knowing that Jesus was the reason for the season and why, but still was allowed to believe in all the mythical pieces of childhood...you know.....prince charming.....princesses...that Mickey Mouse is real.....I am still a believer in my faith as an adult...none of the beliefs of childhood got in the way of that.....but you have to decide that for your own children........

I&#39;m linking up and also going to start following you. We always told our kids that Santa was a &quot;fun&quot; part of Christmas. Being a &quot;Preacher&#39;s Daughter&quot; my parents never did the Santa thing, but they would take us to see him (as we did our kids). I mean, come on... EVERYONE has to have a picture with Santa don&#39;t they??!?!!?? If you check out my blog you&#39;ll see that I LOVE Santa - I have them all over my house!

I know that Santa is so controversial among believers. We place the focus of Christmas on the birth of Christ. For all of the cultural traditions we celebrate we talk about the way that tradition unifies our family, celebrates the birth of Christ or how Santa for example embodied the characteristics of Christ ie: charity for others. <br />Love your blog!Christyhttp://highheelsandlattes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575073466314153227.post-54524557970770143362010-12-25T21:34:18.073-05:002010-12-25T21:34:18.073-05:00Merry Christmas. i had a nice visit to your blog.

However I think some families get too carried away to the point that they have to explain everything and then they end up really telling one lie after another. My 2nd son was devastated when he learned the truth about Santa and that changed how he was represented in our house for future children. My advice... you know your children better than anyone and you know what they can handle and how you can best teach them about Santa and the birth of Jesus. Do what works for you! I think your suggestion of balance is certainly the key!Laura @ Ms Smartie Pantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06953284758360960450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575073466314153227.post-37977046690361626152010-12-21T19:37:59.618-05:002010-12-21T19:37:59.618-05:00I had my own Christmas Miracle to share today!

We always had fun with the idea of Santa when we were little but knew that Christmas was to celebrate Jesus&#39; birth. We are passing along that same idea to our children.Autumnhttp://www.wecreatespace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
