Bookroo's summary

Santa and Mrs. Claus host a lively Christmas dinner with their quirky family, including an inventor, an opera singer, and a polar bear. As snowball fights and pageants unfold, chaos reigns. Can the Claus family find harmony amidst the holiday mayhem? Join the festive fun and discover if the spirit of the season can bring everyone together for a memorable celebration.

From the publisher

Tomie dePaola’s rambunctious 2004 classic returns to print just in time for the holiday season! With its brightly colored illustrations, playful narration, and seasonal cheer, this picture book is sure to be a holiday favorite for the whole family. This year, Santa and Mrs. Claus are having their entire family over for Christmas dinner. There’s Uncle Alfred the inventor from Bermuda; Sister Olga the opera singer; eight young children, including Baby Willie; even a polar bear named Oscar. With a family like this, mayhem is bound to follow, and from a snowball fight to the Christmas pageant, it’s a wild affair. But in the spirit of the season, everyone has a wonderful time–even the frazzled hosts!
