Customer Reviews

A Cherished Family Tradition

Our family has enjoyed sharing this book with each other every Christmas for the past 10 years. We carefully pull our signed copy off the shelf 12 days before Christmas and read a chapter every night until Christmas arrives. The story is enchanting as it gently invokes themes such as selflessness, realizing the need and asking for forgiveness, the need to be loved and have someone or something to love, respect among all of God's creation, and sacrificial giving that renders true joy; bringing a wholly more authentic and heartwarming perception of Santa than the usual red suit and red nosed reindeer. Highly recommended!
