WE celebrate but don't go along with silly things like tooth fairy. As for Santa, it's a man dressed up in a red suit. My kids do read books on fantasy though, and play a lot of pretend games where they are animals, or their own made up characters.Tereza Crumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051821102578257785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265772262233409826.post-65242634789219049212013-01-09T13:02:13.307-08:002013-01-09T13:02:13.307-08:00We have taught our kids that these things aren'...We have taught our kids that these things aren't true, either. We don't even participate in Santa in any way, and they still absolutely love the tree, lights, stories of Jesus, etc. Although we aren't mean about it and still enjoy singing Rudolph! :) When they lose a tooth, I tell them I will sneak into their room after they fall asleep and leave them a surprise.

My husband and I just wanted our kids to know the truth. We do love a good pretend story, though!The Skinny on Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629215581187785926noreply@blogger.com
