Mommy...Daddy...is there really a Santa Claus?
by: Mark Bulleit

Is there really a Santa Claus? Any parent who hasn't been faced with
this question most likely will at some point. But how do you answer
this? No one wants to crush a child's dreams of Santa and holiday magic.

Some kids, like me, are crushed at school when they hear from a
classmate that they found all their presents under their parents' bed,
thus, proving there really is no Santa. Then, reasoning sets in, which
is about the time they begin to wonder why they have been told this
fairy tale all this time as it was the truth.

So, is there truly a Santa Claus? Well, if you are in this position you
will probably be glad to hear that the only true answer to this question
is...yes, absolutely.

The name "Santa Claus" came from the Dutch "Sinter Klass" pronunciation
of St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas was a Christian priest, who later became a
bishop. He was a wealthy person, and traveled the country helping
others, giving gifts of money and other presents. St. Nicholas chose to
remain hidden while giving these gifts, so the children were told to go
to sleep quickly or he would not come!
One famous story is about a poor man who had no money to give to his
three daughters on their wedding day. St. Nicholas dropped bags of gold
into the stockings which the girls had left to dry by the fire. Ever
since, children have hung up stockings on Christmas Eve hoping that they
will be filled with gifts by Christmas morning.
According to the Catholics, a saint is one who lived such a holy life
that, after dying and going to heaven, is still able to help people on
earth.

In the 1500's people in England stopped worshipping St. Nicholas and
favored another gift giving figure Father Christmas.

Now, no matter what your religious preference is or if you even believe
in Saints, doesn't change that St. Nicholas represents a selfless act of
giving. Rather it be material gifts, money where needed or the often
most valuable gift of a little of your time, it's about the act of
helping someone else for no other reason then just because they need it.

As St. Nicholas had figured out as a young man, we truly, as adults,
begin to understand Santa Claus when we realize that the best gift of
all is not on the receiving end, but being the one giving. And being
rich doesn't always mean having a lot of money. Often, especially these
days, taking the time to spend with someone, inviting them over for
dinner or even putting food on their table, can make all the difference.

But how do we explain this to a child? Well, we do it in stages. They
first have to learn how much receiving a gift meant to them to
understand how much it means to others. And Santa Claus, well he is a
perception of a truly magical holiday spirit presented to them in a way
with which they can associate at this point in their lives.
So, how do we, as parents, answer this question in a way our young
children will understand? You, as a parent, should decide when it's time
to come clean. You can meter this by deciding when you feel they will
understand that Santa Claus really does exist in all of us and he often
means something different to each person they'll meet. A child grasping
this is a big step towards learning what the holidays are truly all
about.
