I was really lucky growing up because my parents let us have Santa Claus with our Hanukkah Menorah. We visited with Santa Claus and had our picture taken with him every year as we rambled off our long list of presents that we wanted on Christmas Morning. We also had eight nights of Hanukkah, and we lit the Menorah for all 8 nights.
I continued the tradition with my own children, teaching them about Santa Claus going down the chimney on Christmas Eve to bring presents to all of the well-behaved children across the world. His Reindeer waited on the roof , while Santa put the gifts under the Christmas tree, and had the milk and cookies we left for him, and the handful of carrots we left for the reindeer.
I kept the fantasy alive as long as I could, and even when the older children knew the truth, everyone just continued to “believe” to keep the Santa fantasy alive for the younger ones.
It’s all about family during the holidays. Believe it. Hold on to it! Indulge your loved ones. Whatever name you give your “holiday” you’ve got to believe in the magic that this holiday season brings.
And Believe in the magic of the season. The moments you share with your family and friends is priceless. I might go overboard, but I love indulging my family and friends and sharing the traditions that were passed down to me from my family, and that I have passed on to my children.
ALL WE NEED TO KNOW WE LEARNED FROM SANTA CLAUS!
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IN YOU!
ALWAYS REMEMBER WHO IS NAUGHTY AND WHO IS NICE
DON’T POUT!
IT IS AS MUCH FUN TO GIVE AS IT IS TO RECEIVE
SOME DAYS IT IS OK TO FEEL A LITTLE CHUBBY
MAKE YOUR PRESENTS KNOWN
ALWAYS ASK FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
BRIGHT RED CAN MAKE ANYONE LOOK GOOD
WEAR A WIDE BELT AND NOBODY WILL NOTICE HOW MANY POUNDS YOU’VE GAINED
IF YOU ONLY SHOW UP ONCE A YEAR EVERYONE WILL THINK YOU ARE VERY IMPORTANT
WHENEVER YOU ARE AT A LOSS FOR WORDS JUST SAY HO HO HO!
OUR FAMILY AT POTPOURRI OF WHATEVER WISHES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A HAPPY HOLIDAY – WHAT EVER YOU CELEBRATE ! WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US THIS YEAR!
