Is It Time to Tell Your Kid the Truth about Santa?

December 3, 2017 By Kerry 2 Comments

I think it was fourth grade. My son came home from school to tell me that a girl in his class had told him something about Santa. She’d said that Santa was just parents in disguise. When I asked what he thought about that, he emphatically replied, “Oh, I told her she was wrong! Santa is real!” That’s when I realized I needed to tell my kid the truth about Santa.

Is it time to tell your kids the truth about Santa? Read why I did. #santa #christmas #jesuschrist #christian

While I admired his zeal for upholding truth as he knew it to be, I also realized that he needed to know the truth about Santa. You see, my husband and I had really played up the Santa gig. At the time, our son was our only child, who also happened to have autism. In other words, we made sure our son had lots of opportunities to see Jolly Old St. Nick. In fact, Dad owned a full-on Santa suit and used it frequently during the holidays for community events and in-home visits. Being an only child, our son didn’t have another sibling to help him figure out that Dad was in the suit. Being autistic and not one to really focus on faces, he couldn’t see that it was his dad in disguise. And Dad creatively disguised his voice, playing the part to perfection. Being a trusting child, he believed what we had told him. And he defended that belief wholeheartedly. Yet his friends could easily see it was Mr. Smith in the suit. They still believed in the “real” Santa, of course, because that’s what their parents had told them. In my heart, though, I knew the gig was up for us.

I encourage you to do what’s best for you and your budget. Thank you!

So I debated what to do. Finally, after seeing Rise of the Guardians, (affiliate*) which happened to show within a week of the school episode, the subject of “Are Santa and All the Other Holiday People Real?” came up again. This time I took the plunge. We were in the car, after the movie, parked in our garage, talking–just my son and I. I remember the moment clearly.

This time when he asked, I said, “Do you remember what the girl at school told you?” He definitely did. “What if,” I continued, “she’s right?” He stopped and stared at me. “What do you mean?” he asked. And then I spilled the beans. Instantly, he was heartbroken and I was certain I’d done the wrong thing. “You mean to tell me this whole time it was just you and Dad?” he clarified. “Yes,” I said, with a lump in my throat, rushing to explain that we’d done it to make his holidays memorable and fun–and magical.

Then, in a very grown-up way, he swallowed hard and simply said, “I understand.” I wasn’t sure he did, but he seemed to. Knowing how his mind works, I knew he needed time to process all this new information, so we left the car and he went to his room to be alone.

A little while later, I checked in on him; he seemed ok. We talked a bit more. Then he didn’t want to talk more. He seemed to be done with the idea. So I let it go, with a simple suggestion that he not tell any friends who still believed in Santa. I informed him that was a job for moms and dads. He agreed.

We went on with the season, and he seemed quite pleased to know something secret, something mature that other kids didn’t know. He liked the “rite of passage,” so to speak. Later, though, I found out that he told his best friend the truth about Santa the very next day. Even now, I hope that child’s mom forgives me for ratting out Santa to my kid so he could spoil the magic for her kid.

So why did I tell my kid the truth about Santa (and the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, leprechauns, and so on)? Thanks to Rise of the Guardians, we cleared up the truth about all of them. I told my son about them because he really wanted to know. He has a literal, smart mind. If you tell him something, he believes it. It’s truth or it’s not; black or white.

We are a religious family. My husband and I tell our son about prophets, Jesus, Heavenly Father. We talk about having faith in them. We believe in them. They are real. So when our son asks us if something is real, we want him to trust that we are telling him the truth.

After the “Santa Talk,” I told my sister what I’d done. She knew it had been tough for me and our kid, but she was annoyed I’d done it. “Why didn’t you just avoid the question?” she asked. She has four kids and hadn’t told any of them the truth about Santa. The ones who were old enough to know had just eventually figured it out. She pointed out that I could have just said, “If you think he’s real, then he is.” Or I could have just changed the topic. Something like, “Santa is so much fun. So, do you think we’ll get snow for Christmas?” Maybe I could have tried: “If you don’t believe, you won’t receive.” “Some say he’s not real, but I’d like to think he is.” “Who knows? It’s just fun to think he is real. Let’s play along.”

Every family handles this situation in different ways. In our family, my kid needed to know the truth about Santa. I just felt it. I knew he would defend Santa forever unless he knew the truth, and I didn’t want him to feel stupid when peers pointed out the obvious. I wanted him to be “in” on the secret, to be informed. I wanted him to know I would always tell him the truth when he asks for it.

And so . . . that is how I handled the dreaded “Is Santa for real?” question. I don’t know that I handled it perfectly. I don’t even know if every parent needs to openly discuss it. But just recently, now that my son is a teenager, I asked him, “Do you remember when you first learned the truth about Santa?” He totally remembered. “Was it a good thing I told you the truth?” I asked. He didn’t even hesitate to tell me that he was glad I’d done it. I know it hurt and shocked him at first, but then he knew.

Now he has a little brother. We still play up the magic of Santa. But when little bro eventually asks if Santa is true, maybe he’ll ask his big brother first. If not, I’ll still answer with the truth. But he’s only four, so I hope I have a few more years to make the magic of Santa happen–with the help of his older brother and dad.

 

Your turn: How have you handled the Santa situation?

    My son has wondered off and on for years and he turned 9 in December and has finally come to the conclusion there isn’t a Santa with the help of his friends and a talk we hada but it and I am glad I did as I felt like I was deceiving him a lot of time be saying Santa was real. So to me I think it is everyone’s personal opinion on what they believe and let there children believe. As for me I would like to think Santa is still real and to be able to have my son believe as there is enough bad things happening so lets focus on something God for a while.

      Thanks for your comment. It’s a tough call for parents. But even when kids know the truth, the magic of Christmas still goes on. We just focus on serving others and our religious beliefs. Like you said, it’s ever important to focus on the good. Hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season!

We are on this autism journey. 💙 Some of you k We are on this autism journey. 💙

Some of you know that our family (including extended family members) have had a lifetime of autism experiences. 

Each person is different. That’s why I like this image of autism. It’s every color. The symbolism of the circle represents infinity, the love we have for one another on this journey. 

With our family members, you wouldn’t immediately recognize the autism tendencies. Or maybe you would. 

I have aspects of autism. For instance, I can’t tell when I’m talking too loudly, but it makes for a great “teacher voice.”

Collectively, we deal with many of the harder aspects of the disorder: echolalia, meaning of words, social skills, isolation, sensory needs, and more. 

But we have been very blessed by autism too. We have family members who have excelled academically, technologically, and in running world-renowned businesses. 

Autism, you’ve been a challenge. But you’ve also made us who we are. 💙

Will Kien desires to serve a mission to China in the early 1900s. Family friend Edward encourages Will to join their ministering family, which includes his sister-in-law Katherine. 

Will and Katherine eventually fall in love as they work tirelessly to teach and help the Chinese people in several remote communities. 

It’s a rough life and an incredible journey to read about. 

It’s absolutely a clean read and one that I highly recommend. 

This is one of those books you’ll think about long after you’ve read it. 

Courage, unconditional love, and absolute service are long-lasting lessons you’ll treasure from these pages.

I keep waiting for his documentary, Still, to be released on apple+. Until then, I thought I’d learn more about his life through his autobiography.

So this book went right back to the library drop box. 

Has anyone seen the documentary? Will the language in it make me cringe? 

I’m hoping it’s not so peppered with salty language. He has such a fascinating life story and has been such a courageous role model in his battle with Parkinson’s.

I love a good outdoor adventure with a strong female who takes the lead. Anne Hobbs was only 19 when she took on the tough assignment to teach in a small gold-mining town on the Alaska frontier. 

Based on a true story, this page turner unravels one challenge after another. A ramshackle schoolhouse, illiteracy, extreme poverty, irrational hatred for Native Americans, wolves, bears, harsh winter … It just goes on and on. 

Included is a bittersweet romance that just tugs at your heartstrings. 

Tisha (meaning teacher and pronounced tee-shaw) is how one beloved Native American refers to Anne. Originally published in 1976. This book isn’t politically correct. It tells the story as it really happened. There are harsh references to Native Americans and several non-white races. Sadly, that’s how things were and I applaud the historical accuracy in this book for telling us how it was. Plain and simple.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Such a fabulous book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Such a fabulous book! Chiaverini’s books are clean reads, and I love recommending them. 

WIth this one step back in time to WWI when women were just beginning to help war efforts in new ways. 

Male soldiers weren’t able to multitask quickly enough to effectively man the switchboards, vital positions in communicating key tactical maneuvers. 

So select women were trained for the job. First missions were sent to France, some on the frontlines. 

Learn about how these women earned respect and finally gained Army recognition as soldiers.

#bookreview This has so many f-bombs and other fo #bookreview

This has so many f-bombs and other foul language that I gave up on it. 

For me, the storyline was mediocre. The fact that it’s historical fiction but not WWII piqued my interest. I wanted something different. 

But not this kind of different. …This book goes into sordid details about a female scientist in the 1950s who is abused in every way by men as she pursues her education and first career.

She meets another scientist, a famous one, at that job. They try to keep it simply professional but soon fall in love and live together. 

The intimacy scenes aren’t too detailed, which I think is good. 

But I just now stopped because I’m tired of wading through the f-bombs that have no relevance to the story. 

Sadly, before I ever got this book from the library, I asked three times if it is a clean read. Each time I was reassured that it is. 

I’m here to tell you it’s not. That doesn’t make it a bad book, and it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read it. But I’m going to share an honest review because I couldn’t get one before I picked this up and wasted several hours of reading.

Every person has their own agency, their own abili Every person has their own agency, their own ability to make choices. We simply cannot change that. 

For years, I have been one to try to fix others’ problems. I have a big heart, but it’s the wrong thing to do. 

Instead, I can support. But I cannot fix. 

Events in my life recently have taught me this more than anything. 

So I recently reread this helpful book to help me better understand my role. 

I’m not perfect—not even close. But I’m learning to simply validate others’ concerns and offer less suggestions (unless I’m specifically asked). 

It’s actually a huge relief.

I just now finished The Last Bookshop in London. I just now finished The Last Bookshop in London. 

There have been some interruptions to my reading time, and today I was finally able to cozy up and escape. 

This book gives me courage. Grace, the main character, survives the London blitz by sharing her love of books with other survivors. 

But it’s more than that. She rebuilds lives as people come together in great need. 

Gathering to listen to Grace read, their souls are saved. Literally. 

I often feel deep connections to others when discussing shared reads. 

I believe couple and family bonds may be strengthened by reading too. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is absolutely clean and worth having in your mind.
