Children the world over have been enchanted and captivated by the charismatic being known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, St. Nick, Sinterklaas, and Papá Noel. But eventually, they begin to ponder just how, with the help of flying reindeer, he can deliver presents to boys and girls all around the world in only one single night. And how does he fit down chimneys? And visit houses where there are no chimneys?
As the questions begin to multiply, THE SECRET OF THE SANTA BOX helps parents guide their child from an innocent belief in the fanciful realism of Santa Claus to an empowered understanding of charity, love, and goodwill, and the true meaning of the celebration of Christmas: the birth of Jesus Christ.
THE SECRET OF THE SANTA BOX by Christopher Fenoglio and illustrated by Elena Makansi, is a delightful story written in the same lyrical style as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas that helps parents navigate this difficult terrain in a fun and loving way, and is a natural transition for children who have outgrown the "Elf on a Shelf" and are ready to move forward to the real meaning of Christmas.
"Chris Fenoglio makes it easy for parents to delicately share the mystical meaning of the spirit of Christmas with their children." The Tennessee Register
"In the same way so many people can recite The Night Before Christmas from memory, The Secret of the Santa Box has all the makings of a new holiday classic. Filled with wonderfully nostaligic imagery that immediately evokes the Christmas spirit, The Secret of the Santa Box celebrates wonder, the thill of hope, giving, and God's goodness in beautifully crafted verse that, like a great song, can't help getting stuck in your head." Christa Banister , Blessed are the Meddlers
"Fresh, funny, original and perfect for girls and boys everywhere. Christopher Fenoglio has created a holiday poem for children of all ages." Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo, Brava Valentine, Big Stone Gap series
"There is nothing like The Secret of the Santa Box in the marketplace. For parents with children, this book will be a true keepsake. This tender, sweet poem captures the essence of Christmas and provides a special tool for teaching children about Santa, about giving and about love." Julie Cragon . Bless My Child, Jesus at My Side, Talking to God
"This is the best Christmas book to become a classic since 'Twas The Night Before Christmas. If families will read this book to prepare and figure out how to transition into new Christmas traditions as their kids get older, this world would be a better place." Julie Powers Schoerke , JKS Communications
"Ultimately, it was important for (the author) to teach his children that Christmas is all about Jesus. And, ultimately, that is what all Christians want for their children as well." Baptist & Reflector
"If you've ever struggled with how to tell your child the real truth about Santa, this book makes it easy. It's sweet, inspiring and based on a true story." Joan Brasher (blogofjoan.blogspot.com)
