I've told all of my family that my husband and I plan on raising our children with Chirstmas but not with Santa. I see no harm in this as it is over-commercialized, not the meaning of Christmas (family unity & the birth of Christ, to us, is more important) and as it's just become some expected hype, that to me, is more trouble than it's worth. I make my son's life eventful as it is & we have a great time everyday.
My grandma is convinced I'm "robbing him of childhood memories" like thats the only thing in his ewhole childhood he'd have!
There's a Christmas party at her church. She's asked to take him- I've agreed. Here's the thing: I asked her not to have him sit on Santa (I know she wants to take a picture) She's upset, her and my sister, saying that they're going to anyway. That upsets me. This is a personal decision by my husband & I and to have them just try to undermine me like that bugs.
What should I say to her? I've already told her how I feel & it was basically dismissed.
