Illustrated by
Eunice Moyle.
In this board book, rhyming text describes, mostly in two-words-per-line couplets, what "Christmas is": "twinkling lights, / silent nights...writing letters, / ugly sweaters!" Stylish neon-hued, digital-looking illustrations depict a variety of creatures displaying their holiday spirit (e.g., an elephant sports reindeer antlers). The enthusiasm is infectious, and the hot pink pops. "Joy and kindness, love and fun... / Christmas is for everyone!"
