"When they observe Christmas, they do so without compassion. Their celebration is hollow."
This novel is set in the future...a sad world that has collapsed upon itself. Cities are in ruins. Some people live in gated communities guarded by soldiers, and some live in communes in the woods lacking many necessities. Christmas has become meaningless. The Christmas spirit is almost nonexistent. "If people don't feel that, then Christmas becomes an empty shell. A meaningless ritual of selling and acquisition." Santa, his elves, and the North Pole are in danger of disappearing permanently.
