Lying about Santa: naughty or nice?

Lying about Santa: naughty or nice?

It’s an age-old debate. Both the pros and cons of this controversy are easily found on the Internet. Dr. Johnson gives his opinion in this Psychology Today article. He is a staunch proponent of never lying to our children.

On the other side of the table sits PBSparents. They sit closer to the middle offering another perspective. And, WebMD weighs in on the subject adding in information about the ages and stages of magical thinking.

Lucky we live in a free country. That means parents get to choose how they introduce their children to Santa and other mythical characters.

So here are a few Tips from the Trail :

1. Find joy in the present moment.

2. BREATHE deep a lot and frequently!

3. Finish 2015 strong.  It’s almost over.

Peace, love, health and hope to you and yours. Happy trails, Allison
