8 . Empower your child to take on the role of giver . You might say , “ There ’ s no one Santa because it ’ s a job too big for one person . The real Santa is the spirit of giving , and lots of us need to step up and do the job . So , yes , I am Santa , and so are many others . And now , you can be Santa for someone , too .” Let your child choose an angel off the angel tree to buy for or a friend to play Secret Santa to , and encourage them to spread hope and joy this Christmas season and always .
