The Family Discipleship Podcast

Talking With Your Littles About Santa

Episode Notes

On the eleventh episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast the hosts (Adam Griffin, Cassie Bryant, and Chelsea Griffin) talk about different approaches Christian parents take to talking with their kids about Santa Claus. 

Questions that we discussed in this episode:

• What are the different approaches Christian parents are taking toward Santa? 
• Is telling kids about Santa lying to them? 
• Does Santa distract us from what we celebrate at Christmas? 
• How do American Christmas traditions help us point our family to Christ? 
• Is there anywhere in the bible where the celebration of the Christmas holiday is a command given to Christians?
