Great Message
Santa enlists kids to help him deliver packages and spread Christmas cheer. They learn that giving is just as fun, if not more, than receiving gifts. Great book with a great message. Only complaint is the back page where author promotes their social media which is cheesy. Would purchase again!

The family tradition everyone needs in their library!
This book was gifted to my son from his Auntie... We read it on Thanksgiving and just knew this was the family tradition we were searching for!!! The book is artfully written and the illustrations portray a time past. The family we picked to be secret Santa’s for was given the book on the last day! A new tradition I know that they are starting this year!!! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Great Family Christmas Tradition
Love everything about this book! From the timeless illustrations, to the beautifully written story. This book introduces children and families to a wonderful tradition of giving and reminds us all of the true meaning of Christmas. Definitely a new holiday staple in our household.

Very poorly written don’t waste your money.
I understand the premise of the message however it was a horrible example of what they were trying to say in the secret Santa‘s book it showed a white family introducing giving and the person they chose to give to was an African-American veteran also they kept talking about being part of an exclusive club that Santa has chosen definitely not the message that Jesus would want. The church lights book again poorly written.

Christmas classic in the making!
This book describes a family tradition that any family can put into practice. Giving and kindness are lessons that never get old, and only make family bonds stronger when learned together. The vintage vibe of the illustrations, along with the rhyming text made for a fun read. The physical book itself was keepsake quality.

Inspires a great idea to spread Christmas joy
This is a book, which not only holds the atmosphere of Christmas but shows how kids can spread a bit of Christmas joy themselves.Written in flowing rhyme, this is an easy read, which is well-suited to the intended age group. It makes a great read-aloud, too. The illustrations surprised me. They are done with much love and are beautiful with lovely scenes, which remind of all the wonderful things the season brings. However, they remind me of the style used well-over fifty years ago. The clothing and such definitely hit this direction as well. I found it sweet and nostalgic, but it won't be everyone's thing.This isn't so much of a story as it is an inspiration to how easy it is to bring joy to others by using the Secret Santa method. So, this is a book with a very clear purpose. It's still an entertaining read, though, as it shows kids running around, creating gifts, and delivering them. There's a sense of family warmth as well as the parents get a bit involved.If you're looking for something which goes beyond the usual, Christmas tales and actually leads to possible actions, this is the book you're looking for. It even has a Secret Santa Certificate at the end, which can be filled out. This makes readers official Santa helpers in spreading Christmas joy.

Poor writing
Purchased the book because I liked the message. However, it seemed like it was written by somebody for whom English was their third language: it was choppy, didn’t flow, and was generally difficult to read coherently.

New Christmas tradition- the gift of giving for kids
New idea/Christmas tradition we will incorporate in to our family this year, for sure! This book starts with a Certificate of Achievement for your kid from Santa Claus 🎅🏼- super exciting for a Kindergarten-age kid! It immediately challenges your kid to make 12 presents to give to a neighbor or friend in need this year for each of the 12 days of Christmas 🎄. Really sweet and inspiring little book to get your kid to not think of themselves and selflessly think of others. Totally recommend, illustrations are lovely, and although the story is a little too short for my liking, my kid absolutely loved it!
