What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book takes a traditional, secular approach to the Christmas holiday. It focuses on the figure of Santa Claus and the concept of gift-giving. There are no heavy emotional themes or complex social issues addressed; it remains a light, festive celebration of the holiday.
