[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Larlo, not everyone believes in Santa.  Many people who don't celebrate Christmas (like Jews or Muslims) do not believe.  Santa Claus only visits those houses where families believe in him.  So he'll visit our house, but he won't visit your cousin's house because we believe, but they don't.  [/quote]

+1  Such a simple solution/explanation!

And really, you think Santa is more important than family bonds??  #priorities[/quote]

This what we said, we have tons of friends that are Jewish. I did not think to discuss it at 4 and my son was beside himself when he came home from preschool and told us that we forgot to celebrate Hanukkah.

OP is talking about spending the night in the same home on Christmas Eve with both families having similar aged kids...one who Santa visits and one who Santa does not visit.

This is not at all similar to having a Jewish or muslim friend who does different holidays, or even cousins in a different home/town/state who celebrate differently.

You bringing up hannukah is like comparing apples and chocolate bars.[/quote]
