This book by Erin Kubo is a sweet, slightly dark festive children's tale. The illustrations are whimsical and somewhat haunting - I think this would make a great gift for anyone under the age of six (or parents of such children) as it seems particularly strong on the anti-Santa mythological front (which I am an ardent supporter of*). You can hear the whole book read aloud by the brilliant Hank Green here.
* Psychological studies indicate that children raised to believe in Santa, once they get over that white lie, are far more likely to similarly discard belief in God as a parental tactic. This is not good.
