Summary

You say the word “Santa” and it brings up a diverse perspective of experiences, memories, word maps, and pictures. 🎄So let’s talk about this – because for us, we used to sit on side of the Santa-camp and now we find ourselves moving towards the other side.

Like many things in parenting, Santa is something we’ve changed our minds on. Simply said, we are allowing Santa in our home (+ it means something different than “doing” Santa to us).

We are all about protecting our kids’ childhood and allowing them to cherish childhood. We want to give them a childhood that fosters their imagination and lets them be little.

If you find yourself having conversations around Santa in your home + how to foster childhood while maintaining truth, we hope this conversation serves as an invitation to discover what works best for your family.

PS - have you heard the news? The Marriage Journal and The Debt Free Journal is available in Barnes & Noble, nationwide! If you find them in your store, tag us on social media so we can see + celebrate together! 💌

In this episode we talk about:

How “allowing Santa” differs from “doing Santa” to us
Alternative ways to answer the question “Is Santa real?” (and how the way you guide you kids’ fosters a healthy filter for truth)
Our perspectives of both sides of the Santa-camp
