I have to admit that I LOVE Santa Claus. Not because he represents gifts or the horrible commercialization of Christmas, but because to me he represents everything good and sweet about Christmas. I like to think of him as the facilitator of kindness, love, and childhood excitement. We talk a lot about the birth of the Savior at our house, but Santa is also talked about with kindness and a sort of reverence. Not that he overshadows the Birth of Christ, but rather encourages brotherly love and everything wonderful that Christ stands for. I have also decided that I will always believe in Santa. My kids will always here that from me, and they can come to their own conclusions when the time comes.
So, I made these adorable blocks when I was at my parents house over Thanksgiving. My Mom found them on another blog, and I don't have that address to give credit. I am sorry and if you know who it is please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due! There is even the rare picture of me! For once I was not behind the camera. I also have to thank my mom for all the supplies. She is so great about letting me raid all of her great craft supplies!
You did an awesome job. Where did you learn to be so crafty? Oh ya, it must run through our blood. I really like the Christmas tree paper, maybe I will do a set with just that paper. What do you think?
I love these blocks and sign. Great job!!!!! I feel exactly the same. My girls are 14 and 12 and they know I believe. They have also come to their own conclusion and that's okay because someday when they have children...they will believe, too. I love how you describe it as not taking away from the birth of Christ but adding to the day.

Love them, and the colour choice. xx
So cute. And I agree, if treated right, Santa can represent good and not just what he brings us.
