My family is still fairly new (I've been married for two years now) so we have been trying to define what our own holiday traditions are. In my old home with my parents, there never was a Santa Claus, and I don't know what I'm going to tell my son about him. My husband thinks Santa is just an all in good fun personality, but I've never thought him that useful. It's hard to define what this time of year means now, because there are some conflicting point of views.
So I guess, for now, it really all comes down to family. As long as we're together, it will always be a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
