Dear Hety,
>So...lesson learned...is that: It's a GOOD thing to take care of yourself,
first. Beyond the lies and beyond the...stories. Feel what is right, what
is good. "Santa Claus" can actually be quite a devastating character.
How about for those kids whose alcoholic parents who used poor Santa as the
panacea...at least for one morning? ;-(
When I "figured" Santa, I blew my parents' cover. From that point on, it
was worse.<
Sounds like you had a pretty difficult time of it.
When my daughter was little I was in a quandry about what to do about Santa,
the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. Having this thing about truth I
didn't want to lie to them yet I wanted my children to experience the
"magic." My head said lie but my heart said truth but I couldn't explain
it. They grew up with all of them and grew out of them in a gentle and
natural way.
>Thank you, Jason. With or without alcoholism, lies are lies. Truth is
truth. But for those who can't 'see' what do you say or do? My answer:
See it as their path.<
I guess in this case I have trouble seeing lies and truth. My nephew helped
me to understand it enough to put it into words. He had a really difficult
time accepting that Santa wasn't a real person. I remember that he found
out just before Christmas and was really angry and kept making snide remarks
about it all day. My daughter already knew but my son was still in the
magic of it all and I didn't want it to be spoiled. That year an Australian
Philanthropist, Dick Smith, had donated one million dollars to an orphans
charity. I was deeply impressed when I had seen him on TV the night before.
He had said that he wanted to give enough so that he really felt it and that
he wanted to bring magic into the Christmas of underpriveledged children.
To me this was the spirit of Santa. I explained this simply to my nephew
and he accepted it and the rest of the day he could once again experience
the Magic of Christmas. Every parent who plays this role is allowing this
archetype to express through him. Truth or lies? I guess its just a matter
of what eye your looking through.
*GOOD--TRUTH--NO SANTA CLAUS--EVIL
EVIL--LIES--SANTA CLAUS--GOOD*
Warmest regards,
Julie.
