Lorsque le père Noël arrive chez un enfant, la veille de Noël, descendil par la cheminée la tête première, ou les pieds d'abord? Et s'il reste coincé? Et s'il n'y a pas de cheminée? Peut-être se glisse-t-il sous la porte, en se faisant aussi mince qu'une enveloppe? Serait-ce possible qu'il se faufile dans les tuyaux et passe par le robinet? Et une fois à l'intérieur, que se passe-t-il?

The timeless question is answered with ridiculous, plausible, and fanciful explanations mounting in hilarity. This latest collaboration by the New York Times bestselling team will find a secure spot among family holiday traditions. Original title : How Does Santa Go Down the Chimney?
