6 of 8 has been hard at work, developing new theories when considering the holidays. Take for example this recent reported exchange between 6 of 8 and her best buddy, AT.
6 of 8: "Do you know the real truth about Santa?"
AT: "What?"
6 of 8: "He's actually Jesus. He likes to dress up and give out presents..."
Alex likes to tell others that Santa died and we should be celebrating Jesus' birth!!!! YIKES!!!! I am always quick to jump in and help tell about St. Nicholas, before we have some kids that are scarred for life. :)
I love that! I have actually been struggling with the whole "Santa" thing this year. I just don't like to lie to my kids...I mean I am trying to teach them not to lie, right? My husband and I contemplated telling the kids that the gifts are from Jesus...as part of his birthday celebration. Oh the pressure of Christmas!
Hah! Perhaps 6 of 8 and Sweet Son #1 have been taking the same Sunday School classes. SS#1 determined that the Jesus was the Easter Bunny because after Jesus died and rose on the third day he became the EB to deliver eggs and gifts!
Okay, so I'm not evil for telling my kids about santa. Thanks 6!
