you know what, its going to back fire on her, she can't control everyone. I will bet you that her ds still talks about him. I would still do a santa theme, why ruin it for everyone. Ok, why is it now a big deal with her but not the previous years.

Maybe Mom is just saying "Don't tell my kid any lies"...?
She might be fine with you doing Santa Projects and reading Santa Books, but not promising her child anything from Santa?
If the child is old enough, I'd ask the parents to remind their child not to ruin it for the other kids. If he or she is little, there's nothing you can do.
We avoid the religious part of Christmas, but I do the commercial stuff too. That includes Santa and Reindeer.Comment

well, we have a Santa that is coming for cookies and milk the Friday before Christmas. He will bring a gift to each child.
We are also going to do x-mas wish list to santa.....
I guess I can do as someone said since I still have time and print out a list of activities for the month. I will let them choose and decide when they will or won't participate...Comment

you still do your Santa stuff and tell her the days and times it will be done if she doesn't want her child to know that she can have her child at home that day.
happyface

This is why I don't do ANY holiday related "teaching" or "crafts"
I'm personally not big on celebrating holidays anyway, but other than that, we live in a VERY diverse country and there will almost always be a family who practices other beliefs. I would not want a teacher or provider teaching my kids about holidays/rituals/etc. that I didn't agree with, and I respect other families in the same way.
I realize that this family does celebrate Chritmas, but do understand their choice to be honest with their child.
Besides all that, it saves me a TON of time and work not doing the crafts that are never really appreciated by the parents anyway.

Oh yes of course I respect their choice! This is why I LOVE AMERICA! The freedom of CHOICE! I won't get into much more than that...This is why I don't do ANY holiday related "teaching" or "crafts"

I just don't know what this mom wants me to do... Like I said in my previous post, I will type out a calendar of our events and let the mom decide what her child can participate in.
BUT I refuse to not allow it in my home, as this is what I teach my own children and I have no plans to change it...Comment
