In this Christmas‑themed podcast, the Mama Bear team addresses the biggest questions Christian parents often hear around the holiday season. They explain what Christmas is truly about, how to talk to children about Jesus and Christmas, and address common controversies like whether Christmas is pagan, the role of Santa Claus, and what phrases like “Happy Holidays” mean. They also share practical tradition ideas families can adopt, and recommend books and resources that help keep Christ at the center of the season.Main Points CoveredWhat Christmas Truly CelebratesIs Christmas Pagan?Origins of the Christmas TreeSanta Claus vs. St. NicholasTalking to Kids About Santa“Merry Christmas” vs. “Happy Holidays”People and resources mentionedA Child’s Christmas — Victorian Christmas story (classic reprint)Letters from Father Christmas — Tolkien (beautiful illustrated letters)The Case for Christmas — by Lee StrobelThanks to Our SponsorsAirDoctor: AirDoctor comes with a 30-day money back guarantee so if you don’t love it, just send it back for a refund, minus shipping!
