My God.
Because he isn't a man
Because he doesn't live in the sky
Because God really does see everything
Is part of everything
Can coincide with Santa better I think
Does that mean I agree completely with lying to children
About carrying on a charade that they deeply believe and love
And then ripping it away from them.
Most people see it as beneficial and harmless
Yet I see it as deception on a very deep level to trusting and innocent children
It's a lovely thought. But it's better left to fiction. Than passing it off as reality and then pulling the rug. Plenty of things that are fictional are celebrated. Santa should be like that.
I like it too. The sentimentality of the season. But the look in my daughters eyes when I told her.
So she wouldn't get her heartbroken at school or accused of lying or being ignorant
She was of the age I truly thought appropriate.
Wish that I could have given her more years
Wish that it were true and I could give her a lifetime. Although. If you think about it. It is a strange concept.
An old man breaking into your house in the middle of the night? No wonder that scares some autistic and even non-autistic children.
