Kendal has had her baby and as you saw from the feature on MamaPixie in The Green Parent magazine this month, my business has taken off tremendously! Stephen and I are also expecting our third child in July next year!<br /><br />You can however find me on Facebook over at MamaPixie to keep up with that side of things ---> http://www.facebook.com/MamaPixieUK<br /><br />And of course, with Kendal at her personal blog at Ava and the Snowman.<br /><br />Emi, xCrafty By Nurturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796355489453786563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225854741404387995.post-4608965850793425272013-11-21T18:50:41.441+00:002013-11-21T18:50:41.441+00:00Noticed Emi in The Green Parent today, which made ...Noticed Emi in The Green Parent today, which made me remember how much I loved reading this blog...

They don't celebrate Christmas in Thailand, obviously, as it is a Buhddist country but they still show pictures and adverts with him in and Ing, the boy I was talking about, came and asked me who he was. He seemed tremendously confused about what Santa was and why he was white as well. I just told him that in other countries some people think that he brings presents for children very much like they believe that the gods and spirits that they believe in bring them luck and love :D<br /><br />It is an issue that I had never even thought would be of concern in a non christian country but it really is something that only Westerns think about and force upon their children. I love the idea of Santa and if I ever have children may well teach them that he is around as it was such a wonderful memory of mine when I grew up and personally I see nothing wrong with thinking that he is real, the same as I don't think that anyone beliving in gods or spirits is wrong. xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225854741404387995.post-15002623243391498972012-12-23T09:01:55.208+00:002012-12-23T09:01:55.208+00:00I suppose there's also the issue to consider a...I suppose there's also the issue to consider about why Santa brings some children LOTS of expensive presents and why some children get very little or nothing.

I corrected the errors you mentioned, therefore felt no need to keep the comment up there. I was not being childish and dishonest as you said on Kendal's post. I'd like to remind you that I am not a professional writer. I did not do a degree in English, nor am I a teacher of this subject.<br /><br />We try and use a saying in our home when deciding whether or not we should say something.<br /><br />Is it TRUE?<br />Is it KIND?<br />Is it NECESSARY?<br /><br />If you cannot answer 'yes' to all three, don't say it. I think it is a very valuable lesson to learn.<br /><br />Emi<br /><br /><br /><br />And yes, to the last poster, I have read that blog post before and thought that if I did 'do' Santa, that this seemed a lovely way to deal with your children realising the truth about him, very gentle.<br /><br />I'm glad you thought it was a great post though!<br /><br />E, xCrafty By Nurturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796355489453786563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225854741404387995.post-23799198037150880252012-12-22T21:10:11.544+00:002012-12-22T21:10:11.544+00:00Thank you for letting me know, I assumed as much. ...Thank you for letting me know, I assumed as much. I understand why comments deemed negative wouldn't be published, but to pretend that it hasn't been received in the first place is dishonest and childish.

Are you ever happy? You post constantly on Kendal's posts saying how wonderful she is, but this blog is a pair. Maybe you should be so positive about Emi's posts.<br /><br />Personally I thought this was great. I'm still going to do Santa with my kids, but I respect how other people want to do it. I think that there is a lot of magic in the Santa thing, and I plan to deal with the fact that he's not really real in a similar way to this blog post... Have you read it before? http://www.cozi.com/live-simply/truth-about-santa<br /><br />As long as they know that I did it with love I think it'll be ok.
