I think the important thing is that we tell them the real reason for the season - the birth of Jesus Christ.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-63740772626221939212015-10-28T10:02:50.316+10:002015-10-28T10:02:50.316+10:00No way!

I nearly died! LOL.

Luckily I was the oldest child so I got to get Santa gifts for a few more years after I knew because I had to keep the magic alive for my brother {I secretly loved that}.Finding Myself Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214517047937382835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-43533078081824172252015-10-27T17:50:21.579+10:002015-10-27T17:50:21.579+10:00I find it really hard - on one hand it feels weird...I find it really hard - on one hand it feels weird to outright lie.

I am in two minds myself, but as mine are grown up, it's not a dilemma I have to face.
