At school, the twins are sent to the custodian’s office to get a spare key. In the place of the usual custodian, Jim, they find a jolly old man named Chris, who knows Jessica and Elizabeth’s names and has a long list of other names on his desk. Jessica thinks that Chris might really be Santa and the Snoopers Club decides to make the custodian’s true identity their first mystery to solve.
The twins’ parents tell them that Chris isn’t Santa, but Jessica isn’t convinced. Mrs. Otis’s class invite Chris to their Christmas party, where Alice is helping out as class mother. Chris gives out presents to all the children and somehow manages to get the adults just the right gifts, including a box for Alice that looks just like one she desperately wanted as a kid.
Soon after the party, Chris leaves the school as he has a big job coming up. Elizabeth doesn’t know whether she believes in Santa again, but she does know that Chris personified the spirit of Christmas, whether he was Santa or not.
I was utterly fascinated by the way that this book dealt with the Santa question. I was surprised that it actually talked about some children believing in Santa while others were equally certain that he didn’t exist. Would it cause some young readers to question their own beliefs? I don’t know. I do appreciate that it brought the question into things, though, as it’s a far more complex mystery when it isn’t just “is Chris Santa?” but rather an examination of belief.
