Anyway, this is all them...their idea, everything. It's fun to see Santa answering their questions in ways that are magical and yet nothing but truthful...bringing us all a little closer to understanding the marvelous mystery of Santa!Jocelyn Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342635172904848811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-58278038742086856662012-12-06T13:32:25.456-05:002012-12-06T13:32:25.456-05:00It was always my understanding that Santa believed...It was always my understanding that Santa believed...Ultimately we are all following Christ's example when we do anything to help or show love for others. I never thought of Santa in any other way...the letters keep coming from my kids to Santa...Last night the question was asked "How many elves do you have?" Santa replied, "I have many, many elves helping me do my work, all over the world. They use machines and magic, but mostly love to get the job done."Jocelyn Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342635172904848811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-48732360396508801942012-12-06T13:29:04.373-05:002012-12-06T13:29:04.373-05:00Steve, did you see that I now have a nephew named ...Steve, did you see that I now have a nephew named "Cedar Jedi???"

We have a tradition where Santa comes (usually about 2 weeks - 10 days before Christmas) and leaves a present on our door. It is usually a Nativity - either set or nativity-centered ornament, with a note reminding our family that the real reason we celebrate Christmas is to celebrate Christ. It has helped my kids to know what Christmas really is all about. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this cute letter!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-4154838156106924362012-12-06T10:42:48.790-05:002012-12-06T10:42:48.790-05:00Fantastic letter.

We decided this year that Santa only fills stockings and gives one handmade gift that helps the kids remember Jesus. <br />Oh yeah, and our Santa likes Eggnog with his cookies. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622586494147076094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-3427578140654763462012-12-05T19:13:51.481-05:002012-12-05T19:13:51.481-05:00Thanks for the chuckle on this one.
