This shows how unaware Americans are of other cultures and their holidays. We only know of Christmas and Hanukah, we don;t acknowledge and other holidays because they were never brought to our attention. This shows that we need to be more aware of the people and cultures that surround us and that we should show respect for them by knowing the holidays they celebrate.
" How can Santa not bring toys for some kids when, Mommy, you told us that all kids are good inside?" Pg. 109
I think that this would probably be one of the hardest questions for a parent to answer. It is fairly simple, that some people don't celebrate christmas so santa doesn't go to their house. But kids don't understand much about religion, they just know that good kids get toys so it must be very hard for them to comprehend why some kids don't. If every kid is good inside why wouldn't they get toys no matter what their religion? It just seems like it would be something that is hard for a child to understand and that is hard for a parent to explain.
