About this episode
A strictly 10+ conversation about navigating Santa’s imminent arrival with young children. Where does the idea of Santa rewarding good boys and girls and punishing bad ones come from? Do we want to jump on the elf-on-the-shelf bandwagon? What if someone tells my child that Santa is not real? And what if Santa’s secret is the same as Nature’s: that there are no naughty kids?
