 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;subtitle:&amp;nbsp; Christmas-time at our house - part 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;3rd installment in my &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://sweetmummy.lifewithchrist.org/page/christmas-series-2007.html&quot;&gt;Christmas-time at our House series&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; We do holiday things differently around our house.&amp;nbsp; After all, it &lt;strong&gt;IS&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;my house and I&#039;m OK with being weird.&amp;nbsp; Is it any surprise, then, that &amp;quot;Santa&amp;quot; gets special treatment at our house?&amp;nbsp;It&#039;s true.&amp;nbsp; But it might not be quite what you think it is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do &lt;strong&gt;YOU&lt;/strong&gt; do with Santa Claus?&amp;nbsp; What do you &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; about him?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Do you think about him at all, or do you just do the Santa thing because it&#039;s what has always been done and everyone around you is doing it?&amp;nbsp; Santa is the fun part of Christmas, right?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;122&quot; alt=&quot;Santa&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; width=&quot;125&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee92/sweetmummyof3/Santa.jpg&quot; /&gt;So how do you (we)&amp;nbsp;respect the magnitude of influence that this jolly old elf has on the Christmas season, while still focusing on the REAL reason for the season - Christ&#039;s birth?&amp;nbsp; It&#039;s tough to do both, but it can be done, I think, if you are intentional about how you deal with all the hype, rather than the hype dictating to you what should be done.&lt;/p&gt;
