As we hurried up the busy sidewalk between stores I asked my mother how Santa could get from one store to another so quickly. She explained, "Those are just Santa's representatives. Santa Claus is really the Spirit of Christmas."
I wasn't sure what that meant but was satisfied with the answer.
As an adult of course I understand that Christmas is about far more than gifts and carols. While there are many books for children about the Nativity story, there aren't many that can help children understand what the religious aspect of Christmas has to do with Santa Claus.
My picture book, Secret Service Saint, helps kids understand the truth about Santa Claus and discover the joy of secret giving. In this time of economic problems I hope it will help children realize that there is more to Christmas than getting presents.

Sounds like a wonderful book, Janet. I like the title. Does it have a release date or is it already out?
Thanks, Susanne. The book was published last year and you can get it at Amazon or other online bookstores, through the publisher, or have your bookstore order it from their distributor.
