    The whole Christmas debate is just……confusing. I mean, I understand that people who teach their kids there is a Santa don’t want my kids to ruin it, but where do we draw the line? I don’t teach my kids to not tell children in atheistic families that there is a God. I’m not pushing my convictions on others by simply living mine, but if someone requires me to not live mine, they are pushing theirs on me, kwim?

    I don’t know what to do with the whole Halloween thing, either. We don’t celebrate it, but I try to be nice to those who ask.

    I was just talking to my girls about Santa today.  I told them not to tell other children that Santa is not real, just tell them that God is the one who provides the presents at our house.

    As a former classroom teacher, I still find myself taken aback when people challenge my choice to HS. I rattle off various reasons, and have been sorely tempted to ask why they send their kids to public school, but haven’t.

    Halloween? We don’t celebrate it, though my kids LOVE to dress up. So, we have a dress up birthday or just fun party,not anywhere close to October.

    Santa? I can’t deceive my kids like that, regardless of the good intentions behind it.

    I get the two-headed monster looks for these, and when it comes out that we don’t have a TV. Makes me laugh every time.

    Oh Katrina…the TV thing is priceless. We have a TV in our bedroom but we don’t even have cable. My husband paid alot of money for it a few years ago and doesn’t have the heart to get rid of it. So we have Netflix and he and I watch some old reruns together sometimes. But it is funny when any family members come over and they look around the living room like “what do we do?”. We used to be heavy TV users a few years back but since taking the leap we are SO much happier, even my hubby who is a sports fanatic.
