A touching believable story of the origins of the Santa Claus persona

An excellent explanation of the customs followed surrounding Santa Claus

Best Christmas Book Ever!

I have had this book since I was a child. My husband and I read it aloud each Christmas until we had a child and now it is part of our Christmas tradition with our 10 year old. It provided the perfect transition from the belief in Santa Claus to the true spirit of Christmas. Last year the book disappeared and we were so disappointed. Since I couldn't remember the author or the exact title I couldn't reorder it. I am delighted that it is still available and heartily recommend it to all parents.

IN DESPERATE NEED OF A COPY OF THIS BOOK!!!

When I was in 6th grade and far past the years of still believing, my teacher read this book to the class during the month of December. It really gives you a whole new belief in Santa adn Christmas. Since this time, my teacher loaned this book to another, and it was never returned. Now that I am a mother, I have been DESPERATELY searching high and low for a copy. (...)

The TRUE story of Snnta Claus

This is a story that you will read every year at Christmas! If you can you will read it to someone:if not to someone for yourself. It will remind you why "you believe in Santa". You will find yourself thinking that it MUST be all true. I have read this every year since the early 70s to a classroom of children. (Usally 6th Graders) They don't believe anymore, until after I read them this story, and once again they do!The story tells everything about Nicholas in a VERY believable way.If you can find this book I would recommend that you pay whatever it takes to get a copy! You will NOT be sorry!

The Adventures of Nicholas

This story provides a plausible explanation for Santa Claus, why he wears a red suit, makes toys, has reindeer, goes down chimneys, etc. I recall reading it many times while growing up; and as I was just finding out that my parents might be "helping" Santa, I was comforted by this book...as it even explains why parents would need to help. I think this is most appropriate for those at the tender age where they may not believe but still wish they could... and for anyone who loves a heartwarming Christmas story.
