Life & Perspective

The gift of disappointment

My children are that age now where they kind of understand that Santa is not real.

Yet, they are busy writing their wish list for the coming X-mas.

Santa has never failed them all their lives, so far.

Like in the past, they have been asking us whether Santa would pay a visit this X-mas.

Like in the past, my wife and I have been putting up a poker face and saying 'No idea. Santa will decide based on how you behaved this year'.

Wondering if this X-mas, we should just tell them that Santa did not visit.

Learning how to deal with disappointments - will that be a good X-mas gift?
