A laugh-out-loud interfaith holiday story celebrating Jewish joy, friendship, and the beauty of every tradition!

Enjoy this heartwarming and hilarious holiday picture book as Jewish, bi-racial Oliver Overstreet teaches Santa that Christmas and Hanukkah are not related--at all!

Oy, Santa! shines as a festive story that celebrates Jewish pride and tradition, sprinkled with laughter, friendship, and inclusion. With a friendly nod to Muslims who also don't celebrate Christmas, this book is perfect for families, classrooms, and libraries seeking a fun, timely story about respecting differences and building bridges between traditions.
