Description

In this episode of Stand Up Mom, Caroline Holzberger kicks off a new series called 'Fake News', tackling those little misconceptions kids have about Christmas. From the over-the-top commercialization of gift-giving to the distorted view of reality many children develop, Caroline dives into how parents can navigate these tricky waters. With a little bit of humor and a lot of heart, she talks about shifting focus from what they’re getting to what they can give—because the real magic of Christmas lies in kindness, gratitude, and of course, the true meaning of the season: Jesus.

Takeaways:

• Fake news is a real thing in parenting!
• Kids’ perception of Christmas often gets warped by all the hype.
• Set a budget for gifts, and don’t forget the importance of serving and giving.
• Acts of kindness make the holiday about more than just receiving.
• Teach gratitude and joy that come from the heart, not the shopping cart.
• The best gift? The message of Jesus!

So, let’s swap the chaos for calm and make this Christmas about the true spirit of giving!
