The Autobiography of Santa Claus


I know I haven't posted a book review in a while, and I apologize. I've been so busy with work, some other little assignments for people and church, and then of course with Christmas shopping and getting ready for Christmas. Now speaking of Christmas, I decided to read a fun book to get me more in the Holiday spirit of things I guess you could say. It is the "Autobiography of Santa Claus". What a joy it was to read too. This book is excellent for you to read to children, for young adults, adults, and older adults alike. It's just great for everyone!

To be honest I never really knew a whole lot of the legend of Santa Clause, or the history behind him I guess you could say. That is part of the reason I wanted to read this book. I had no idea I would get so wrapped up in it. What is great about it is that, not only do you get to find out how Santa Claus really came in to being in all different cultures, but you get a great history lesson from the book as well! The book starts back when Santa was just a child not long after the years of Christ, and as he grows up shows you how he gets started in his adventures to become the Santa Claus we know. It's a lot longer of a process then I ever imagined, and by the end of the story it may just have you believing there truely is a Santa Claus. ;o)

I encourage you to pick up the book. If you do not feel you'll have time to get through it for Christmas this year then pick it up for next year. You'll be glad you did! I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!
