From that point he's gone on to declare the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and others as not credible.

P is a natural born rational thinker and worked out for himself that rabbits are not inclined to go around hiding chocolate eggs.<br />I don't have to wonder much about where he gets that from: I recall from my childhood my mum stocking up on Easter eggs, then pointing out to us kids that the shops had now shut and we wouldn't have any eggs to give to her the next day. She then sold us some of the eggs she'd stockpiled. I'm sure she made a profit, and got given the eggs as gifts the next morning anyway! Anyway to "celebrate" Easter seems to be OK at our house.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-17224033516500607322014-04-26T03:45:29.814+10:002014-04-26T03:45:29.814+10:00I love your angels!

I've always referred the children's questions regarding mythical gift-deliverers to my husband as he's the one who wishes to perpetuate such myths - I feel very uncomfortable with them, and am a Jewish atheist, besides! Fortunately only R still believes, and hopefully not for much longer. Today K and R got chocolates that were delivered by the 'Easter Mummy' :) Hope you all had a great day, and are enjoying the long weekend (and short week! hooray!).marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715341254331190992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-5451839990838964972014-04-20T15:25:53.437+10:002014-04-20T15:25:53.437+10:00I love the guardian angels!

She was in a Jewish pre-school up until we switched her to Montessori this year, so it's been pretty easy....but, now people are asking her what she wants the Easter bunny to bring her, and she just gives them a quizzical look.....although we do celebrate Christmas, I feel like it would be seriously hypocritical for us to give a kid an Easter basket when we seriously don't celebrate Easter. Anyway, cute guardian angels!Janice https://www.blogger.com/profile/15516765600724614193noreply@blogger.com
