Regarding Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and evil spirits making you sneeze!


This post from Jimmie at Jimmie's Collage caught my eye.  It's about customs and knowing why we do certain things - like saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes, or celebrating certain holidays.  Jimmie lives in China and has just observed the Chinese celebrating the Chinese New Year with some rather strange customs...or are they supersitions?   That part is confusing! 

We have to be very careful when dealing with these questions, though.  Sometimes, the fact that you don't celebrate this or don't acknowledge that can become just as much of an idol as someone with a stone god in their home!
