This is a layout for the ScrapFaith blog (http://scrapfaith.blogspot.com). My family does not "do" the Santa thing and many people ask us about that decision. This is a layout that explains our feelings about the focus of the holiday season.
Journaling Reads:
Sorry Santa. We dont focus on you at Christmas time. During this season we celebrate the birth of
Jesus Christ, the central figure in our lives and
He represents the magic of the season. He
was the ultimate example of giving, charity,
love, compassion and joy. We give gifts to
our children to symbolize the gifts given to
the Christ child from the 3 Wisemen. We teach
our children to give to others and serve as
Christ did.
So, sorry Big Guy, but there is no place for
you in our holiday festivities. We are not
meanies or spoil sports, we just want to teach
our children the TRUE reason for this Season.
