Traditions are important and they certainly take precedence for George Grimble in "The Christmas Tree Thief" by Chris Grabenstein. Before his three young sons can open their gifts on Christmas morning, George always lights up the baby Jesus as a reminder to all of the real purpose of the day. Something someone apparently didn't understand when they cut down part of his pine tree in his yard and ruined Christmas morning.

"Chris Grabenstein's decoration-obsessed Dad is reminiscent of the best of Jean Shepherd.
