As a young mother, Arita Trahan wanted her own children to experience Santa as magical, in a way that could not be spoiled by honesty, and in a way that would last a lifetime. Without any of the usual need for them to believe in him, she devised a way for them to celebrate Santa without outgrowing him, without a down-side, and in a way that is also more joyful and playful. In addition, her new approach does not mess with or undo any of the other Santa ideas that might already be expressed in the world around the child. Santa Story Revisited is an expanded telling of the traditional story that gives parents the opportunity to bring even more magic to the holiday, along with total honesty and integrity. Readers will also appreciate the focus on kindness and anonymous giving.
