After that, no, he did not believe in Santa. {BUT} the idea of surprise gift giving was and still is present and fun because he likes to do " From: Santa " on gift tags, etc.<br /><br />Since money has been tight the last few years, it has helped that he knew that there was no Santa. <br /><br />We always celebrate Jesus and read from the Bible Christmas Eve and Christmas Day from the Gospels.LindainNCtoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852910032007037371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985557048935082674.post-13545585563536627012011-12-07T15:04:09.222-06:002011-12-07T15:04:09.222-06:00Judy....so sorry I called you Jane...I was having ...Judy....so sorry I called you Jane...I was having a "senior moment".....I hate when that happens!!
