It's the special holiday edition of the Exo Real Marriage podcast.

Nailed it. Okay. We're just gonna free flow because we're busy. It's the holidays.

We don't have time to script things, but I did want to have one honest conversation for those who are married and do or will have kids, what do you do with Santa Claus if you're a

married couple for the holidays?

Sometimes this becomes a divisive issue in the family.

Mom and or dad will have different views on the holidays.

We won't even get into Halloween. We're still needing to heal from that, the Driscoll house.

What do you think should be done if your parents, husband and wife, tell them the kids about Santa?

First of all, what would you say not to tell kids about Santa?

I would first of all not lie about Santa.

That's important.

Why would you not lie to your children?

Because that disrupts trust.

It breaks trust with your kids.

And especially as important issues come in their lives, you don't want

them to mistrust you because you told them a lie when they were a child. And if you tell them

Santa, he sees you when you're sleeping. It's creepy. He knows, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a perv.

Then he knows when you've been naughty or nice.

So now he's like God.

He's all knowing, all seeing, and he's keeping a list of your good and bad deeds.

Now you're into works righteousness and you're a Pelagian.

You're a Pelagian heretic. It's a fact in church history.
