I worry about the conflicting messages too - Santa = toys but we've gotta teach them the good stuff too, about generosity, etc. - but somehow my parents provided my siblings and I with all the wonder of Christmas with Santa and taught us the really important stuff too. It can be done, as you know. And, um, we've had some cookies for breakfast during the past week as well... hee hee Sweet Pea is right there with The Count. She SO believes this year, and wants to leave a note with her cookies for Santa tomorrow night which says, "Dear Santa, I know you're busy, but I'd like to have you come to my house for a sleepover sometime, and I want to have a snowball fight with you." Never mind that we don't have snow here... and I told her she might not want to challenge Santa, of all people, to a snowball fight. I figure he's pretty darn good at those. ha ha!

My husband actually tried it with the daughter that turns 3 in January and she greeted his "Santa won't come if you're not good so put the train down and don't hit your sister with it" threat with a total blank stare. She tried to understand the words coming out of his mouth but it just wasn't clicking. So he tried again and said "You want Santa to come, don't you?" To which she replied, "Santa has toys." I finally told him that wasn't going to work until next year. He seemed totally deflated. I have to admit...I was really hoping it would work this year too.

He just plays along mostly. I'm about to be in hot water though with Scamp. He asked for something that Santa has no intention of getting him, but a school Santa told him he would. I'm so screwed.

I only have the one child and he's losing his freakin' mind. Top it off with a snow storm/snow emergency thingie that is going on, and he fears that reindeer won't be able to see our chimney!

Now comes the age of trying to guess which package is what by shape, weight, and rattle. I've already taken steps to thwart that by repacking things in odd boxes, adding weight to light items, etc. I'm so evil;) Mine found out the truth (see post http://inanethoughtsandinsaneramblings.blogspot.com/2007/12/green-curtain-pulled-back.html) this year, so I have finally broken free of the affliction from which you are currently suffering.

As a new mom, I recently discoverred with horror that in some minds, Santa is now being seen as a bad guy... He's part of some of my best childhood memory, and I fully intend to make him part of my daughter's life, as soon as she can understand it! I so don't want her to grow up too fast, and I want her to dream and to hope. It is pure magic, and it still is for me. Thank you for that post!!!
