Why Can’t We Soak It All In Pt. 1
Even though death is inevitable, most days we don’t feel grateful to be alive. Even though childhood is fleeting, much of the time our kids drive us crazy. It’s hard to be fully present and appreciative. Is there a solution? Very special guest: My favorite essayist, Tim Kreider (http://timkreider.com). andyoverthinks.com/soakitallin1

Overthinking Santa Lies
Lying about Santa makes me a little uneasy. But is it sad to deprive kids of the chance to believe in something magical? Hear a variety of opinions from every side, including author of “The Myths That Stole Christmas,” Dr. David Kyle Johnson. andyoverthinks.com/SantaLies

Parody Song Lyrics:
You’re denying you’re a bold-faced liar,
Squash that nipping at your conscience.
Deflect when your child starts to inquire.
Your guilt preserves their innocence.
Everybody knows without the magic of Santa Claus in his sleigh
that takes a speedy flight
We’d just be left with a babe in swaddled cloth
who came to save the world one night.
This can’t be problematic
some tall tales are true and some are full of it.
The kids will sort it out or they will try
so that one day they too will tell the lies.
And so I’m offering this simple song
for parents who want to tell the truth.
Although you may feel it’s the right thing to do,
don’t blow Christmas.
You’ll blow Christmas,
you Scrooge.
