I agree I think it's a good idea. I explain to the kids that we receive gifts at Christmas because God gave us Jesus. God loves us and one of the ways to show you love someone is to share gifts. We've told the kids that Santa is one of God's helpers, Santa helps give the gifts. Thanks for the comment. I agree I think it’s a good idea.

I like the idea, so I might do that with my kids some day.
