I'm wondering how other other-faith families deal with Christmas and Santa? I realise that living in Australia, my son will be exposed to the cultural celebration of christmas, which is great, and soon he'll be old enough to understand the concept of Santa, so we'll either have to perpetuate the fairy tale or explain why Santa doesn't come to our house. We don't really want to lie to him, but we can't exactly tell him that there's no Father Christmas and that all the other kids are being lied to by their parents. HOw do other families deal with this? I figure we could celebrate both muslim and other-faith occassions, but it sort of feels wrong until i can get my head around it. any suggestions?
