Noah told a friend whose family does have santa visit on Christmas eve that he wasn't real. Noah used all the passion he could to convince the kid that santa wasn't real..."he is like Bob the builder". The mom didn't look so happy with me....
The picture is at Jeff's armory. The kids enjoyed seeing Santa and even got a treat from him. Noah thinks he is real just like bob the builder because he can see them with his eyes....we have just had to explain that he isn't coming to our house.
I think that we made the right decision in telling Noah that santa wasn't visiting our house. To us Santa was a distraction from the birth of Jesus. It is hard to compete with Santa and sleigh full of toys. As a believer I know there is no competition, Jesus is victorious, but how in the world do I convey that to Noah with all the distraction. We will celebrate Christmas with gifts and I hope to create an excitement for Christmas in my children. An excitement that hopefully one day leads their hearts to accept Jesus and maybe hopefully God will just work through Jeff and I in that process. In saying all that, through all our decisions and lack of decisions concerning our children we are waiting and praying for God's Grace in the lives of our children.
