Ep 53 - Bringing together two different Christmas Traditions, Should Christians include Santa

This episode is an honest conversation about the holiday tradition of Santa. Although we adults know that an overweight bearded stalker who sneaks down your chimney does not bring all the gifts you open on Christmas Day, we ask ourselves how to have that conversation with our children as they catch on to the wonder of Christmas. We ultimately ask ourselves if we should do Santa for Christmas.
