This short news story is a must read. Imagine sending your children off to school only to have them return home in tears with the new-found knowledge that Santa Claus is NOT REAL! Apparently this happened in a British primary school where a teacher told a class of 25 students, “It’s your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day.” Unfortunately, the story was not accompanied by a video documenting the students’ reactions.
How have you chosen to handle the “Santa Situation” in your home. Have you told your kids that Santa isn’t real? Did you believe in Santa when you were a child? Should children be told the truth about Santa (painful as it may be) or allowed to believe that he exists? Please comment…
