Oscar-winning animator Bruce Lyon and award-winning photographer/author David Goggin have written the next chapter in the myth of Santa Claus, the North Pole, and Christmas itself. Santa’s Secret Sled is the story of how Santa and his extended family deliver on the promise of Christmas, an extraordinary feat of teamwork and technology. It’s a race against time and ultimately Santa has to choose: save his family or save Christmas. Which would you choose?
