Marriage and Christmas politics
My H and I were raised very differ to regarding Xmas. Let me start with no judgement on what you do. As a matter of fact of love to hear opinions. I was raised knowing the meaning of Christmas was the celebration of Christ. My H was raised w Santa. The difference is I feel like it's a lie doing all this silly Santa business. I can go on with the myth until my H brings up Santa gifts. I am always frustrated w this. I feel like it's a waste and I want my kids to know that the loving mother gave them a wonderful gift not some jolly myth of a character.
Re: Marriage and Christmas politics
While I enjoy playing Santa, I agree that I don't want all the focus on Santa. I want it on family and being together.
At this point Ryan is too young to know the difference, but as he gets older, there will be presents from Santa until which point he no longer believes.
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
To clarify where P and I differ is in how much should be from Santa. From him, I get the idea that the living room should be exploding with stuff from Santa. While I feel like Santa should bring stuff but not everything. Does it really matter in the end who brought what, no.
We also talked about whether the gifts from Santa should be wrapped. His were, mine weren't. That's not really a big deal. I pointed out I wasn't going to wrap them because I didn't want to buy special paper just from Santa and then I'd have to keep that hidden so she wouldn't realize. Obviously that's in later years not right now.
Ours were all wrapped. Just that they were all wrapped in different types of paper.
