RE: ’Tis the Season – (PowerHouseCreatives Contest)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I personally never believed in Santa Claus as it's not common in my country. Nowadays, people try to sell this thought to their kids because of the influence of American movies, so kids might get confused. Strange..
I personally believe that everyone can be thankful. It depends on your surroundings and your personality. I do know people who have more than many people can imagine and they give the right example to their kids. They teach them to be humble and don't expect that they will receive anything in life just because of their name. Of course, the name will help them but if they learn at the early stage that they are not different than other kids then they will have the right start in life.
Thank you for sharing and have a good day!
Thank you for your great comment and for offering a different view since you didn't experience the Santa hoax! The bad thing is that I even put my child through it. It was a hard decision, but I felt almost forced because she would hear about it from other kids, and I didn't want her to miss the fun part, believing.
Santa was fun to believe in, and finding out the truth was buffered by the fact the the presents would continue each year! I may have over-exaggerated a bit on the trauma of learning he wasn't real, lol.
I hope the infusion of Santa into your Holidays doesn't get too far out of hand though, and best wishes to you!
