My family celebrates Chanukah. Trying to avoid the commercialism of the holidays and to teach my daughter that not everyone gets toys like you see on tv, I've used this opportunity to teach of those less fortunate and the meaning of presents. However, my daughter (5 years) asked me why, if Santa goes to every house, don't poor people get gifts? And, if they don't have a house for a tree, where does Santa put the gifts? And, if Santa knows where you're sleeping and knows when you're awake, why can't he find the homeless and deliver them presents? I'm at a loss on how to answer this one...any help??? Thank you!
