What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book presents a secular version of Christmas, centered on the Santa Claus and gift-giving traditions rather than any religious elements. Its approach is gentle and celebratory. Families who do not participate in the Santa tradition may want to use it as a point of cultural discussion or choose a different book.
