Santa Claus
This is how I feel about Santa Claus nowadays:
santa claus - MotheringDotCommune Forums: "[my son] recently asked me if machines and cars might really be Transformers from another planet. I didn't tell him yes or no. I asked what he thought and he told me that, since he's pretty sure there are aliens out there (I agree), there might be Transformers on Earth. He clearly wants to embrace this possibility and I did not affirm or deny -- just told him that nobody really knows what sort of other life exists out there in the universe. Humans don't know everything so I think it's perfectly fine for my 5-y-o to posit some of his own theories and try them on for size. Now, if he still believes that our dishwasher is Optimus Prime in hiding when he's 30, that could be problematic! Lol."

This is my current approach to both Santa Claus and religion. E is big on God/Jesus right now but in regards to the holiday he's all about menorahs and St. Nicholas.
Menorahs? How'd he get drawn to menorahs over the holiday, did he just like the look of them?
