That’s the Spirit
One person shared that even as a kid, they always knew Santa was just a big, fun joke. They never had a soul-crushing realization moment of finding out Santa wasn’t real because they always knew it was just a fun tale to tell. This knowledge and understanding never ruined the magical feeling of the holiday for them.
That’s the true spirit of Christmas if you ask me. Christmas is such a magical holiday, with or without Santa. You can feel that special holiday spirit regardless of Santa. That magical feeling doesn’t come from believing in this fictional character – it comes from putting up decorations, buying presents, watching Christmas movies, and all the other traditions, and most importantly, from celebrating with the people you love.
