Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Review He squeezes down chimneys on Christmas Eve, his rotund stomach full of milk and cookies. He quickly and stealthily enters the rooms of little boys and girls to deliver gifts and goodies. Santa Claus symbolizes everything good and everything cheery with the world. Kathleen Paton's book is a delightful dedication to this famous figure--and explores not only the history and religious significance of Father Christmas, but also the commercialism of this large bearded icon. An array of Santa facts, photographs, and posters from throughout the century makes Santa a fun and festive read. --Naomi Gesinger
