Ever since I was little I always thought Santa Claus was real, I would see him at the mall sometimes too, I took a picture and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas. It got to a point where I'd stay up all night on Christmas Eve, and one night I thought I heard Santa's reindeer. One thing I remembered the most was, I always thought elves had the best life, they're surrounded by toys and friends, they get to work for the best giving person in the whole entire world. The thing with my family we spend Christmas opening presents and stockings on Christmas day, it's because my brothers have different dad's, and so they go spend it with them. We have lots of traditions from Christmas presents, lighting candles in the mornings, to rib eye dinner on Christmas eve.Over the years, my family never used a mistletoe, I've only ever seen on in the movies, my parent don't like it too much and we were all still growing.
Markus Zusak needed a narrator who could provide Liesel's point of view, but also provide information that Liesel, as a young girl in a relatively isolated town, wouldn't know about.
