The minister told all of the kids there was NO Santa...... Last year, at MY HOUSE, a dear friend (who belongs to a church I'm not familiar with) decided to break up an arguement between my 5 year old daughter and her 6 year old daughter. They came running out of 's room, near tears, saying " She says there isn't a Santa! Mom, tell her there is!!! " Before I could even open my mouth, the other child's mother (my friend) began to answer, beginning with the real St. , who was good, giving and kind, etc, continuing until she got to a big corporation (was it Coca Cola?) that made up Santa as marketing years ago..... it went on and on. Well, there I was, absolutely SHOCKED that someone would tell this to my 5 year old, in my own home..... you'd expect that at school from kids, but not right at home! I was watching carefully during this rather long lecture, and noted that she tuned out during the St. /Netherlands/etc. part, so I just sent the girls back to play and dropped it with them. The mom then said to me, " maybe I should have checked with you first? " I was still in shock, but told her YES, I would fix it, but please don't discuss it with her again! Later that night, I brought up the subject with my daughter, asking what she had though about what Miss Sue had said. Nothing in particular. " What about the part about Santa, " I asked. Well, my wise 5 year old told me " well Mom, she is wrong. Santa came, so of course he's real " . I agreed with her, then with a little spite (and I'm not usually like this, but coudn't help myself :-), I told her that maybe they didn't believe because maybe her little friend wasn't good that year and Santa didn't come to their house! She thought that was probably the case, we felt bad for the friend, and it's never been discussed again! Santa's alive and well in San Diego!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Last year we had moved into a new home (got to live in it 9 months before the company transferred us). One day the girls were outside playing and looked up and started crying. She was crying because we didn't have a chimney for Santa to come down (gas log fireplace). She explained it to who also got upset. I told them we would write a letter to Santa and ask him what to do. Later that week at a gift shop I found a very ornate, old-fashioned brass key that was in a box and called " Santa's Magic Key " . On the box it explained that if you didn't have a fireplace you were to hang the key on your front door when you went to bed and Santa would be able to get in. I showed it to the girls, telling them that Santa had sent it to us after reading our letter. They were overjoyed. This year, we won't be home Christmas morning. The girls have already started writing their letter to Santa telling him where we will be, and not to worry, Nana's house has a chimney. Both of my girls still believe in Santa, and I am with you all, we will maintain that belief as long as possible.
