Every child, in one way or another, has indulged in a fantasy world. It’s part of our human development. Our nature. But there comes a time in one’s life where we begin to question everything and that world slowly drifts away, and we see things in a new light. This transition bothered Darlene. She is getting older and starting to wonder about the mystery behind “Santa Claus.” She wonders, “How on earth can one man travel around the world on one night and deliver all those presents?” and “Do reindeer really fly?” and “Do elves really make toys in the north pole?”
When she confronts her mother with some of these questions, her mother decides it’s time for her to hear the real story of Santa Claus. Passed down from generation to generation, the story of how the Santa Tree Foundation began fascinates Darlene and her curiosity only grows stronger every night her mother reads to her, she asks more and more questions. When the truth unravels, she feels a sense of pride knowing she now knows the truth and it’s not as grim as her what her classmates tried convincing her, which was that there was no Santa Claus.
This story within a story captures the innocence of childhood and the magic of Santa, in a way never revealed before! Shhh… the secret is out, but only to those ready to hear the message. A heart wrenching story for the young and the young at heart.
