Patti Teel's newest relaxation recording is intended to help over-stimulated children get to sleep on one of the most exciting nights of the year--Christmas Eve. Santa joins Teel's calming, soothing conversation and singing in an effort to provide youngsters with a way to calm themselves. Teel talks children through progressive relaxation techniques, utilizing Santa's reindeer, snow angels, and other familiar winter symbols. Beautiful, peaceful accompaniment is minimal, and appropriately quiet sound effects augment the exercises. Themes of unity, love, and world peace are prevalent as the plot takes sleepy-time children on a trip around the world. Although adults may limit its use to Christmas time, children are not likely to tire of hearing this calming fantasy year-round. A beautiful tool for children who struggle to fall asleep, parents will appreciate this title and the relaxation skills it teaches.
