how do you explain santa

Tweet

i tell my kids even as teens there is a santa and they believe me but i explain him in a different way. i told them how santa was created cause of a man in a village that would make toys and give them to children in his village and other villages close by etc etc. that is how santa was created and how the red suit sliegh and so forth came about. now i tell them there is still a santa but anyone can be a santa. when they were just little things like 1 and 4 years old we didnt have money for anything no tree, food, gifts etc. my oldest wrote a letter to santa and while she was i did too. i thought maybe it wold help my mood. i wrote dear santa and explained that i was a mom of these 2 good girls that deserved a tree, food and one gift and i couldnt give them that and i was sad and all i wanted for christmas was one toy each for them and a good meal. well christmas morning i got a knock at the door. it was a postman and he had his truck and told me santa couldnt get to my house but he left them with the post office and so he was making a specail delivery for santa. my oldest heard him and jumped up and down. before i knew it we had food, a tree, new sweaters, toys, and so forth. i cried and hugged him and he wouldnt tell me anything more. i wrote santa another letter thanking him. now every year i do something simliar to that. i run an apartment complex and we have low income families here and i get with people and ask for help to get each child on property at least one gift then on christmas morning we go door to door and deliver them as a family and tell them santa left it at the office for them.
