108. Do We Have To Expose The "Festive Fib?"

This episode is from over two years ago. I'm resharing now because I'm still in the same place, struggling with the same dilemma. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the magic of the holidays and all the merry traditions. But, I'm not a huge fan of the "festive fibs" families and caregivers tell in order to keep the story of Santa and the other holiday characters alive. It just doesn't sit well with me. But neither does spoiling it and robbing my adult child, who has an intellectual disability, from the joy she experiences during the holidays. I'd love to hear about YOUR experience with all of this. Help a jolly mama out. What are your thoughts? *** This podcast was recorded in Garage Band and edited by Lisa Thornbury (with assistance from Avery).
