Why Kanji Tattoo Can Be Dangerous
The truth is that it is complex to translate one language into another. Chinese lettering has around 5 thousand letters, some with 30 different strokes involved in them. Missing one stroke can absolutely change the meaning of a tattoo. Also, some things just don’t translate well. For instance, one man went to get a “Big Daddy” tattoo, but the kanji tattoo he ended up with was “Large Father”. There is just no great way to translate “Big Daddy” into Chinese. And just because you symbol translates to the right word does not mean it translates to the correct meaning. One girl went to get “Free” tattooed in Chinese. Later she found that the "free" she got tattooed to her meant “free of charge” instead of something to do with freedom.
I wouldn't trust any of the designs you find on the internet. Many times, tattoo artists purchase those from some trade show not knowing what they mean. Many of them are just plain inaccurate. Some of the common ones, like peace or power you can probably find online correctly. However, a tattoo more personalized than that I would highly recommend that you use a translation service or a friend with a really good understanding of Chinese. It would definitely be bad to find out that the tattoo you just got really meant “Pork Fried Rice” instead of “Beautiful”. Just a word to the wise…

Lol it was kinda funny… and it was good to see "Kung-fu-naki" on television but it was a little to long i think if it was shorter it wouldve been funnier they should tag team together sometime
it was Funny when Funaki tried to sing the Whats Up Song too
Christmas and the birth of Jesus happened in Apilr/May timeframe. The Roman Church moved it in the 400's to where it is now to convert those pagan groups that celebrated the Winter Solstice.
That being said I would definitely wait until she is older to tell her the truth. That being said I believe in the magic of the winter season and this time of year. I am 28 and to have anyone tell me that it is all a hoax and commercial goes against the magic that this season shares with me in my heart. I would let her believe as long as she wants to believe. Yes, we as adults, grow out of the believe in "Santa" but no one should ever lose the magic of the season and that it has to share.
Let her discover it on her own. To have parents come in and break a fairy tale is very disheartening. About her baby brother, let him grow up the same way, let them find the answers on their own but don't let everything come interfere with that.
And remember that letter "Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus"
She doesn't believe she can dazzle anyone and I think 100-101 will show her the truth of that!
