- I need some advice from the net. My husband is very much opposed to the idea of
- Santa Claus. He wishes to raise our daughter to know the true meaning of
- Christmas. I am not too overly thrilled with the idea, but I will go along with his wishes.
- My question is, HOW???? Everywhere you look there is Santa this and Santa that.
- To complicate matters, my Mother collects Santa stuff. She has dozens of Santa books,
- toys, music boxes, and figurines. My daughter is only 18 months so there
- really won't be any problem this year, but people are already asking her
- what Santa is bringing her. My grandparents even ask. How do you tell your
- kids that Santa is make-believe without having her be confused by adults who
- ask her Santa questions. How do you keep them fronm thinking all her
- friend's Moms and Dads aren't liars, how do you keep her from spoiling
- for other kids whose parents want to have Santa?? Is she gonna grow up
- thinking her grandma is a looney old woman who believes in Santa??? Isn't
- parenting fun?
-
- Thanks in advance!!
