In my family we've always given gifts signed, "Santa Claus". And yes, telling our children and loved one's that Santa brought them presence is a time honored and beloved tradition among us. When my oldest became 6 they began to ask questions about Santa Claus, "Daddy, is Santa real???" I assured him that Santa is indeed real, and told him that I'd explain the whole story to him on his 7th Christmas. When that time came, I shared this video because it sums up everything in five brief minutes. I also shared with him some supplemental information that I had read on the topic. I hope you enjoy the history, and if you partake in the Santa tradition, I hope you gain a greater understanding of the truth regarding the custom. May you and yours be blessed this holiday season:
