Ep. 45: Let’s Talk Christmas (Part 1–The Santa Conversation)


Listen Later

Every year, somewhere between October 1st and December 25, I start getting the same question on repeat: “Does your family ‘do Santa?’ Why or why not?”

I tackle this question, and the why behind our answer, in this episode. As always, the goal in every discussion of whether or not to adhere to a particular tradition must be: Does it bring glory to God in the way that we practice it (if we do)? 

I also discuss three biblically sound questions to ask yourself as you approach the Santa conversation that may help clarify how you approach your family’s take on this.

I hope you find this way of addressing “the Santa talk” edifying, encouraging, and helpful!
