What Parents Need to Know
About A Christmas Sonata
Parents need to know that a major child character is very sick and eventually dies. Also the existence of Santa is doubted, though reaffirmed at the end.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why proof of Santa is so important to the dying boy, and how a glimpse of a mean old man in a Santa suit could destroy that faith. Also, how is the world of memory here different from the modern world?
