, but more of a fun story to learn about around the holiday season. Some will avoid Santa Claus all together.
Her older brother, Jax, concerned for the kids who just learned Santa is not real, says, “Now those kids are going to go home and have the worst Christmas ever.”The video started a bigger conversation about the idea of letting kids decide for themselves about Santa — and if it was right or wrong of Elliana to voice how she felt about the Christmas magic.
“Ugh! I’m glad the teacher reached out. As a teacher myself it’s always sad when a kid ruins the magic for others. I hope you had a talk with her,” one user wrote.One user wrote, “Exactly we don't do Santa either and man people get so mad.” “Everyone has different beliefs. Her intentions were not to offend or hurt kids feelings. However she is 100% allowed to voice her opinion as well,” she captioned the video in which Eliana explains what happened while also grappling with the concept of Santa herself.
She has every right to speak her truth. If someone is upset, then that is on them.
Sometimes you just tell your kid shhhh, if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.
