Where Did Gift Giving Begin?

Christmas is one of the most important holidays celebrated in most countries around the world, yet the true origin of this special day is often missed. Almost everyone equates Santa Claus and the giving of gifts with Christmas, but what event was the catalyst behind this centuries-old tradition?

This delightfully illustrated children's story is sure to become a tradition for you and your family as the holiday rolls around each year. Christmas is a special time of celebration and one in which we have time to reflect on what is most important.

Usually, children write letters to Santa Claus asking for gifts for Christmas. This book is about a child writing a letter to Santa Claus, not for gifts, but to tell him about the most important gift of all--Jesus. The Christian origin of Christmas is told from a child's perspective.
