Last year we visited Santa at Bronners and Andrew was extremely scared. This year the kids had no problem sitting in Santa's lap and we were able to get a nice picture. They both just look so grown up to me.
When visiting Santa and all through the Christmas season we remind our kids what the true meaning of Christmas is all about. We put Santa in a category along with princesses and make believe. Someone who is not real. This year Adeline and I were able to talk some about the real Saint Nicholas and the many kind things he did. We want our kids to have a balance but to also be able to enjoy the fun traditions of Christmas. At times it is hard to control when they get spoiled by family but we always go back to Jesus and His birth.
