Millennial homeschool mom in my early childhood education era!

Y’all I’ve been trying to tell you play is important and I wasn’t kidding. It’s good for your kid’s brain.

Here’s why I celebrate Santa as a Christian mom: Playing pretend is not lying. Santa is pretend, and it’s fun to play. My kids know the real meaning of Christmas.

When my kids ask me how the elf moves, how Santa gets down the chimney, or a variety of other questions like that… I simply say, in a hushed voice with with a twinkle in my eye “I don’t know!? What do you think??” and if they’re stumped I just say something like “Well I know some people pretend you can become Santa by pushing him off a roof! They made a movie about it!” So the emphasis is on playing pretend.

I think the elf on the shelf is a fun tradition and I move her (Whimsy) most nights. Not every night. Sometimes she’s gone at the North Pole for a few days on end. Sometimes she just doesn’t have the energy, or she likes the spot she was in yesterday, thank you very much.

One day I’ll have the mental energy to make her do fun things. Those over-the-top scenarios that parents bend over backwards to do every night are a once in a season, maybe even every other season thing for us haha. It makes it all the more special!!

Just make sure you’re focusing more on Jesus than Santa and you’re good to go.
