today we talk about how parents can keep holiday magic alive: Christmas magic and Santa Claus圣诞老人.
babysit the family a bit more, work a little less, slow down, take some days off and just relax.
how do you find out Santa wasn't real?
don't ask, if you believe, he will keep bringing you presents.
Does it affect the person that parents lie to them? what factors因素 should you consider when you're telling these white lies善意的谎言, what are the possible consequences后果 影响?
1. to consider the developmental age发育年龄.

2. you wanna think about how it could affects the relationship. they come a way with the right message: mom and dad did this in order to make Christmas magical and fun.
3. any lying encourages children to be dishonest, is it dishonest acceptable ?
you can help them see the magic of Christmas as different as like we'd be created and just to believe in the impossible. magical does exist存在if we look for it. if you believe nothing difficult is possible, then your whole life you won't try things at work or in life that could have left to great results. you will get more joy if you allow it to feel it was magical.

5. Santa Claus is part of the magic of Christmas and Christmas magic can only exist if you believe in it. I'm choosen to believe beacuse Christmas it's more fun, if i believe it's magical.
