It's good to know that I'm not alone on that front. Anyway I'm glad to hear that Ester is resting well and that you were able to sleep too.

My flig...Hey Ruth,<br>I tried your cell but it was off. My flight was cancelled so my plans are back to square one.<br>We will fly up Christmas Eve and go to mom's until the day after Christmas. Then to DIna's and I will come and see you and Esther for sure.<br>I never did the Santa thing either for the same reasons. Our gifts never said Santa...we never told them he was real and we had stockings but the kids always knew we filled them. We included Santa for the fun of it but they knew it was just a mythical figure like the Easter Bunny and that both those holidays were all about Jesus.<br>Mom did that too.<br>You have to be careful though around children there and respect the fact that many children have been told he is real and it's not our place to tell them he is not. Make sure your children know that as there will be little ones there that "believe" and that is their families right too. Call me when you can...I have my cell on. Love you! That pic of Esther sleeping is so cute! ♥Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123627731157622876.post-49606551055038700932008-12-21T09:53:41.000-08:002008-12-21T09:53:41.000-08:00You're right, Lisa.

So far, their interaction with the Santa question has been mostly with the nurses here, and they did great at explaining that we do celebrate Christmas (as some people think if you don't "do Santa" that you don't do Christmas at all).snapladyhttp://www.snap-ez.comnoreply@blogger.com
