Ho! Ho! Ho!

In four days, is the start of "Ber Months" and we are drawing closer to Christmas. Well, here in the Philippines, Christmas starts as early as September 1st lol. I probably write something about that next time.

So anyway, this post is about though is if Santa Claus is real or not? I just stumbled on some of my old Christmas photos so yeah. Okay, we are all adults and know better of course! But what about when you were little? Were you taught that Santa was real? I personally do not remember being told Santa was real, I'd have to ask my parents and grannies if he was real.

Do you remember how old you were when you stopped believing in Santa?

One of the things I like the most every Christmas is the music and the endless Christmas cartoons and movies.

A few days ago, a movie came on with Tim Allen (comedian) called "The Santa Clause". Have you seen this movie? I laughed and cried a couple of times. I laughed because there were some genuinely funny scenes, but I was baffled when I cried because there seemed to be a storyline that suggested that when we become adults, we lose that innocent hope of this wonderful entity, we call Santa and all the joy he brings by believing he will see if we were good and bad.

It is about innocence being lost and with it, faith and hope are also lost. We tell our kids about Santa as Tim Allen did with his son, but we of course do not hold that belief. In the movie, this happened to him and then Santa fell off of his roof and he put on the Santa outfit after debating with his son about whether it was really Santa. Even after he went from house to house in the sleigh delivering presents, he kept on rambling sarcastically about the whole thing not being a reality.

I think the thing that really touched me was that his son not only believed in Santa, but he believed the most in his father. At one point his son said to his stepfather who tried convincing him there was no Santa, "Have you ever seen a million dollars?" the stepfather replied, "No" and then he replied back "then how do you know it exists? It is about having faith and believing". Very smart line!

For many or maybe even most Christmas, is a celebration of the birth of Christ and there are definitely similarities to the message of the movie or belief in Santa. It is about faith, hope, and belief. I will not dive into the religious aspects because I do not debate religion, but I just thought it was interesting the similarities.

So do you teach your kids that Santa is real?

If you don't have kids, will you?

Why or why not?

Good evening or good morning, my dear friends. I am still having a wicked hard time reconciling the fact that it's September in the next few days, and December is drawing so near. It just feels like the March, April, May, June, July didn't actually happen. Anyone else feels like we're living in a fantasy or a drama movie?

What a wild ride. That's life. All I want for Christmas though is calm, bliss, health, peace, love, light, and people to be nicer and behave better. And I want to meet Santa Claus.

One Love

In the days of Christmas we try to make everything harmonious and celebratory with whatever you have. Santa is more advertising than anything else, we see them in the stores and decorations. But as @CoquiCoin says here is the baby Jesus, it is taken in a more religious way. In my case we did it very funny, my children spent their childhood, while my wife distracted them I placed the gifts on the Christmas tree at 12 at night, they were always alert to discover us, but they never succeeded. My house has 2 entrances, when they left through one, I entered through the other. Thank you for making me remember pleasant moments

I'll tell Prince that Santa is real. I will just let him know by himself that Santa in my stories is actually his Daddy. I honestly believe that Santa is real and they are our fathers. The big fat guy with a white beard who loves bringing happiness to kids. And will do everything to make their wishes come true. That's how a father shows love for his kids. Merry Christmas, Madam!

I used to believe in santa before when my grandma told us that we should put a sock outside the door or window so santa will put gifts in there. 😁 Little did we know that she's the one putting the gifts. Santa is a Myth for me and has become part of my happy childhood memories during Christmas so I would let my future child know about Santa too.

Santa Claus may be a myth, but I believe in the power of Christmas, and I believe in miracles, a number of which happen around Christmas time. Does Santa have anything to do with that? Sometimes, the thought of some Father Christmas gives you a very warm feeling during the Holidays, and if that lifts your spirit, who are we to say Santa isn't true?

I also think that time goes by too fast. September is already upon us. In my country, when I was a child, we used to decorate the whole house with Christmas decorations, starting with the front of the house. Now we don't do it because it's too expensive. Here in my country Christmas has lost its shine. May God grant that soon this government storm we have will pass. We have to keep hope and faith in Christmas. In my house we always celebrate in spite of everything, we do not lose the tradition, especially in making the Christmas dish

I love how you have your traditions in that part of the world! I like christmas so much, and it´s cool that in Philippines start to celebrate in September, I mean, wow! In my case, nobody in my family introduced to santa, we got other traditions for the guy who "has gifts for the kids" (baby Jesus), but Santa is a part of Xmas everywhere. My nephews and niece don´t know if he´s real or not, but they truly love to receive gifts, so in a certain way, every Xmas eve they wait that Santa or Baby Jesus give them cool gifts and appreciate them.
