OK - It wasn't Santa really - it was guy collecting for the Local Lions Club. He gave them a lollipop each and we donated a couple of pounds to the Charity. I know this mundane to 99.99% of the population, but to us it was a big deal, a major step. My son was really exited, my daughter was a bit confused, she has spent 9 years being told christmas is evil and Santa is an anagram of Satan.

I think doing something for someone else, like donating to charity is a wonderful way to introduce your kids to Christmas. Good for you!

I was in the mall with my daughter recently when Santa Claus came walking down the hall. I resisted the pre-programmed urge to ignore him and instead pointed him out to her, told her his name, and how he brings toys to children when they are good. He waved and talked to her. She suddenly felt the need to convince me that she was a good girl and wanted toys, too. I didn't need her to convince me, though.
