    I don’t. I don’t like it. If you want something to be really special, just give it a try. That’s all I can think to. Santa Claus is a little boring for a lot of reasons, so it’s not as if there is anything inherently magical about it.

    My parents, however, were always very excited about Santa Claus. They got to go to Christmas in Santa’s old house, and my sister, who is also a Christian, got to go with them. We never got to go to the actual Christmas tree. I remember the day my father said,“you are going to have to do this for me, but don’t worry, Santa Claus won’t try to stop you.” He got me a card that said “Came From A Catholic Girl”.

    I always thought it was just fun. I never wanted anything special, but if I had a small child, I would have bought a gift for her, even if I had to get myself some Santa hats and a card that said “Came From A Catholic Girl”.

    To be honest, I don’t think that being religious is something I’d ever really get used to. I think my mother’s religious upbringing has made me more accepting of non-religious things than any other person I’ve encountered, so I’m just happy that I’m still able to do what I enjoy, without having to spend money on religious decorations ornaments. If I had to go back to my parents for Christmas gifts, I would, but I don’t. That’s all I can think to.

    Thank
