Parenting with sanity in mind
This morning while watching a friend's 5 year old, he asked if he was allowed to sing Jingle Bells, confused I said "sure." After serenading me with his wonderful, and very animated rendition of the Christmas classic he said "I'm not allowed to sing that at home until after Thanksgiving." Holding back a slight laugh I said "Really, who told you that?" "My Daddy, he says no Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving ...it drives him nuts."
At first, this seemed strange to me, they are just kids and what kind of kid doesn't love a good Christmas song (excluding the ones that don't observe this holiday of course)? Then I turned on the television and was bombarded with holiday sale adds featuring Santa and elves, checked my email and there was nothing but companies sending me their Top Gift Lists and recalled last night's trip to the grocery store where every isle was decorated like a winter wonderland already. I get it now, lets take it one holiday at a time. I also realized that my eighteen month old son is still too young to really drive me crazy with constant Christmas talk like a 5 year old would. Once in a while you may need to parent children so that you can maintain your own sanity, even if it means ruling out or limiting things that really are harmless.
