Today we got a call from Kelly's teacher,she said to call her she has something to discuss with us.So Jer and I gather and call her back and put her on speaker so we could both hear what she had to say.
She proceeds with at snack time today all the children were discussing Santa; she said Kelly spoke up and said Santa is not real. A instant outburst of crying and arguing came over all the children saying yes he is real he leaves us lots of gifts;well if any one knows Kelly knows he is strong optioned and he made it clear that he is NOT real(santa) and that Jesus is. ( at this point I'm in tears and can't contain emotion on the shear fact that my four year knows the TRUE meaning of Christmas). Dava (his teacher) said he got very upset because the other kids gained up on him saying he was wrong and Kelly yelled out my mommy and popbear don't lie to me they tell the truth. And,yes we are honest with our son, I in no way want to hurt the kids feelings but I don't want MY children thinking that this man " in the red suit" comes leaves an abundance of gifts and makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.The only person that TRUELY does that is Jesus Christ and only him. Thats what we want him to believe in THE RISEN SON not some made up person that will only let you down once you find out he's NOT real.We want our children to have fun and enjoy this time of year but for them to also know we are celebrating something much bigger than them and that Christ did All this for them.
I want Kelly and Blythe to know he is in there hearts, mind ,soul and being,not this person that makes us feel good for awhile and once were done with gifts we want more and more and more. So for Kelly to stand up to his peers and to say Jesus is real and HE is the reason for the season makes me that much more happy about the birth of Jesus Christ.
