[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, if I had young kids and a relative who didn't "do" Santa, I wouldn't celebrate with those relatives.  Because there is no way in hell you're getting out of there with your kids' belief in Santa intact.  [/quote]

Why is a few years (at most ... a four year old will presumably be in 1st grade in 2 years so all bets are off then because kids are jerks!) of belief in Santa more important than spending time with your family, who you presumably get along fine with otherwise? Jeez Louise. This thread is making me glad I'm not a huge Santa person. I would feel like a damn fool trying to keep up a charade to this level. People on here need to do some serious soul-searching about what's really important. [/quote]

Do you people only spend time with your family on Christmas morning? I do not understand this thread. I'm happy my relationship with my family is based on more than the functioning hours of holidays so I don't have to worry about possibly being estranged for life just for having some alone time with my family.

I'm spending Christmas morning alone with my DH and kid this year just because we want to have Christmas morning together. Then getting together with all my siblings for dinner at my parents. According to you people I am apparently being selfish and crazy and estranging myself from my relatives! Holy hell people. [/quote]
