............... Tis the season to be jolly. Lie, Fib, White lie or Story?
Which ever way you look at it, we have the age old problem of explaining the existence of a fat, hairy albeit jolly old man who breaths in, to
squeeze down non existent(Aussie) chimneys to
drop off copious pressies for enormous amounts of breathlessly excited children each year.
My path does not recognise this as a Christian celebration, rather as a Southern party for Summer. In the North it would be winter (Solstices)
We have decided to tell our child about the real saint nick and how it is in his memory this tradition is carried on......
She has taken this exceedingly well and as such knows that it is our money buying her presents, one in the spirit of Christmas is placed on a charity
tree in the spirit of Saint Nick etc. She has gone up to pretend Santa full of glee and full of excitement armed with the knowledge that he is carrying on
for the real Santa.
Which ever way you tell your Children, just know you are doing it the right way for your FAMILY...... for truly this is the real meaning of Christmas,
Forgiving old grievances or wrongs gathering together under the banner of goodwill etc.... See for your Children this is the most important gift
them being enshrouded with love,goodwill and stability.......
So fellow mintier's I bid you all a merry Summer and prosperous and safe New year.........
Yule tidings
