Oh, there is a surprise at the end. Just when you think that you have reached the end, there is a surprise that brings you right back to the first page and a treasure hunt, of sorts, has you looking at the illustrations in a completely different way.

Alison Jay brings the vocabulary of Christmas to your young child. Each word – mistletoe, stocking, toys, angel, etc. are accompanied by folk art drawings that bring the season to life. There is no storyline, just words and drawing and as I said, when you reach the end, there is a listing of Christmas songs that enhancements each drawing.
