alrighty i have sort of an idea for parents that want to make sure that they know how to tell their children about christmas--santa to tell the truth or not.... first of all either way i would suggest do not lie to them .... let them know santa is a character that is just for fun and it lets their imagination grow and develop.... i also would tell them the most important part of it is about Jesus that should come first and foremost in the whole grand scheme of things.... i personally do not see anything wrong with letting santa or the elves or the magic of christmas being a part of a childs life... cause basically it is part of the whole celebration and with commercials and movies it just cannot be stopped without kids asking at some point... making traditions with your kids is fun and awesome memories for when they grow up and it helps keep part of that child like innocense in them... i have many many great christmas memories from very simple to very wow... its really the spirit of god jesus and the holy ghost all combined to make it a humbling, joyous , festive, beautiful , loving, memory making holiday.... and as far as the christmas tree if you want one that is fine and if you do not that is fine also ... i know many talk about it being pagan... however i put my tree up and i do not consider it pagan or idol like i simple put it up for many different reasons... to decorate it gives me the feeling of making something beautiful for god to look down on and know i really honor him.... the lights i consider all the souls that we have lost here that we love in heaven and its like a memory to them and to know they are not forgotten.... the presents rather it be great or small each one given from the heart like god gave his son to us for our personal salvation... then you have family gatherings making a joyful noise unto the lord with love and sometimes just a simple smile of gratitude in between family members cause we tend for the rest of the year to be so busy that we overlook one another..... and for santa just think he is a moral little feller tryin to teach kids that they need to be good and have spirit so i dont see why it is such a struggle to have this conversation with a child... anyhow that is my take on it :) and oh btw do not be ashamed to say MERRY CHRISTMAS :) i definitly do to everyone
