There is nothing grumpy ot grouchy about sharing the truth with your kids.
All of my kids have known the truth about both Santa, and christmas from an early age, and they enjoy knowing that they are fake.
The real festival of Yeshua’s birth is far more rewarding than xmas.
I hope your kids weren’t the type to spoil it for all their friends.
