In our family celebration, I have never spotlighted Santa, and if we did have Santa, I tried to point out the things about Santa that tie in with the real meaning of Christmas. <br /><br />When I was on the Activities Committee I always vetoed having Santa come to our Christmas activity, and usually everyone agreed with me that there were plenty of chances for parents to take their children to see Santa if they wanted to. <br /><br />I too feel it is important to pare down my holiday decorations. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.latter-daymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366959792248804817noreply@blogger.com
