Santa Senior

It was the day after Thanksgiving and the Claus family gathered around the table for the important last minute planning for Christmas. But this was a special gathering. On December 1, just a few days away Joseph Claus would "retire" as Santa and hand over the reins to his son, JR, who would continue bringing gifts to children. Joseph Claus will take over as Santa Senior and the responsibility of fostering the Christmas Connection for everyone. Santa Senior uses the sixteen-point origami Froebel star to facilitate creating connection between people. Santa Senior redefines Christmas! This is a Christmas-themed book for children that does not focus on what Santa might be bringing. The family aspect, along with the Helping Hands, provides an important message to young readers about generosity and caring for others. Volunteerism and the support for veterans and active service members raises the awareness of patriotism. Santa Senior has all the components of what we want our children to learn beyond the typical flurry of holiday frenzy. It is just what we need to change the world!
