The Santa Claus SyndromeSanta Claus: also known as Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, or simply Santa, is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring gifts to the homes of well behaved (good or nice) children on Christmas Eve (December 24) and the early morning hours of Christmas Day (December 25).

Santa Claus: also known as Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, or simply Santa, is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring gifts to the homes of well-behaved (“good” or “nice”) children on Christmas Eve (December 24) and the early morning hours of Christmas Day (December 25).

The Santa Claus Syndrome explores the impact on children of being lied to about the non-existence of Santa Claus. Through a discussion of the psychological impact, Michael M. Faniel Sr. asserts that there is no reason to lie to young children. With impressionable young minds, lies can negatively affect the human psychic physical development. Faniel suggests these lies contribute to the growing number of people with depression, anxiety, and countless other mental and emotional disorders.

Faniel’s motivation for this book is his personal experience with sociocultural accepted practices. The book explores the traumatic effects of lies on a person’s world views. While all experiences can affect human behavior patterns, it is the traumatic ones that create trust issues, antisocial patterns, and a reliance on these learned patterns as lifelong practices. The Santa Claus Syndrome is a theoretical examination of these experiences and subsequent possible problems associated with mental and emotional degenerate conditions.

Love these books. Better for alcohol markers
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I like these coloring books because of the designs, thw fact that the back page is empty (thinking of bleeding) and the amount of drawings on the book. Meaning, its worth for the money. These are cute. Alcohol markers: these pages are made for this kind of markers. They blend well. Acrylic markers: these are not the best pages for these markers. Need to re-do strokes to get good coverage. Are not porous enough. Meaning, I can see the strokes on these pages; but, in other type of paper, the acrylic markers work better with single strokes. First picture: acrylic marker (see the strokes) Second picture: bleeding on back of paper (alcohol marker) Third picture: alcohol markers (other Coco Who book)

Charming Coloring Book — Fun for All Ages
Format: Paperback
This coloring book has quickly become a favorite in our house! The illustrations are adorable and relaxing, making it just as enjoyable for adults as it is for kids. My daughter and I have spent hours coloring together, and it’s been a great way to unwind after school or on quiet weekend afternoons. What I love most is how versatile it feels — the designs range from simple and playful to more detailed, so everyone finds pages that match their mood and skill level. It’s also a fun way to keep little hands engaged without screens. Whether you’re looking for a creative activity to share with your kids or a gentle, artistic escape for yourself, this coloring book delivers plenty of charm and enjoyment. The only reason giving 4 stars is because of the price. Although the book is great, I do not think it is worth almost $10.
