Well, well, well! Over the last few days there’s been QUITE the ongoing commentary in the comment-section about whether we should influence our children to believe in this Mr. Claus guy or not. Hopefully you’ve been keeping up – it’s been VERY exciting!
Stevan’s final thoughts:
Jess and I have briefly discussed the “what will WE do” scenario and we’re both pretty well settled that our child(ren) will grow up with the wonderment and awe of believing in the fat-man from the North Pole who somehow gets into our house and brings toys.
That said, I also emphasize that we will MOST DEFINITELY emphasize the TRUE meaning of Christmas being the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus. Maybe as a pastor’s family we’ll have MORE of an opportunity to emphasize that fact with the natural festivities that surround this Season, but it will truly be THE emphasis.
I’m excited to teach my impressionable child(ren) about Santa, the elves, those crazy reindeer, and other Christmastime folklore – like the giant albino yetti that lives in the hall closet!
Merry Christmas to you Santa-teachers and non-Santa-teachers alike!
