Brothers Mo and Aaron go to the mall to meet Santa, who turns out to be more than they expected: a Doctor at the local hospital. He asks Mo and Aaron to help out there. Reluctantly they except. At the hospital they meet many other children who are sick, including one boy from India and a very angry girl who wears a paper bag on her head.
It's a short book; sadly, too short. I didn't want it to end, especially once I saw where the ending was going. A book to get you in the mood to be more giving with yourself.

wonderful Christmas story about learning what is really important. Kinda heartbreaking but a 5 star book in my opinion.
Wow! This book is a wonderful reminder of what Christmas is all about. The book is heartwarming and tear jerking at the same time. Once you read this book, your thoughts on gifts for Christmas might just change.
Beautiful Christmas story! In this affable yuletide yarn, brothers Aaron and Molar are understandably preoccupied with the material side of Christmas, until they meet Dr. Ringle, a shopping mall Santa who is also a doctor at a local children's cancer ward. Dr. Ringle encourages them to volunteer at the ward from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and especially encourages their friendship with two children: recalcitrant and angry Katrina, whose post surgical scarring leaves her afraid to be seen without a paper bag on her head, and effusively optimistic Madhu, who does not understand the story of Christmas. The story is unexpectedly heartwarming, and Milne avoids sap while delivering his warm fuzzies and dashes of Christmas hope and surprises. This is an excellent Christmas read.
