I loved the book, because it was about Christmas, one of my favorite holidays. Yoon's parents don't believe in Christmas because they are from a different country but she convinced them differently because now they live in America. She convinved them because she kept on trying to have Santa Claus come to her house and give her presents. It seems like after Christmas Yoon just went up and started talking without any guidance. She was talking about her culture and the New Year's celebration. She showed them what presents she got. She told them Santa brought her some of the North Pole and the students corrected her and told her to take a lick and how good it was. She didn't understand but the teacher told her. It seems that just a simple candy cane was a special gift for her because it was her first Christmas. She didn't give up trying when her parents told her they can't have Christmas.
