The Spirit of Christmas is one I love that I practice throughout the year, not just on one day, however, it's nice to have a day where we can collectively participate in giving as Christ gave.

We teach the Spirit of Santa in my house. All of my children will tell you they believe in Santa. Santa is not the fat guy in a red suit. Santa is each of us. Santa started out as a man giving gifts to others...not to those who deserved it, but to everyone. Santa has been changed according to the ideology of this society and department stores, but that's not who the real Santa is.

Do I believe in Santa? Absolutely. He is real in my house. He is real in me.

Do you teach the Easter Bunny too? Is he also in you?
