 It's Christmas, and one of his favorite traditions is the Santa figure his grandparents bring on Christmas Eve. This year it's a Santa with a list, and yes, his name is on the list. When it's time for bed, the boy wonders which is the real Santa? So, he tries to stay up all night to get a picture.

The sweetest illustrations - everyone in their matching pajamas. I loved the nod to Redd's "Bedtime Bonnet" as the family reads that a story together. A great Christmas book about Christmas traditions. and finding Santa.
