If you celebrate(d) Christmas, did you grow up with the notion of some entity bringing you gifts? And would you raise your potential children the same way?
Yes and yes
Yes and no
No and would raise them to believe in a gift giving entity
No and wouldn't raise them to believe in a gift giving entity
Nuance/results
I'm asking as a person who wasn't raised like this, never saw an appeal in it and it feels stupid to me when I hear grownups lying to children about Santa/Tomten/Christkind/JežÚek bringing them gifts.
If you want to share your experience or thoughts with me in the comments/asks/DM's, I'd be glad to hear it! Why do you like this tradition? Why don't you like it?
