Book Review: One of the best Christmas stories for children
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best Christmas stories for children that you will ever encounter. Santa is an old man named Nicholas, and his son and grandson share the name. It is also a family duty, as when the current Santa retires, his son will take the job. However, grandson Nick has a difficult time controlling the sleigh and the travel is very hard on his stomach. Also, Nick has a poor relationship with the reindeer, especially Donner, who kicks him at every opportunity. Therefore, it has already been decided that his twin sister Marcia will take over the Santa duties when the time comes.
The story opens with the sleigh returning to the North Pole devoid of Santa. Somehow he is lost and unable to contact anybody. He fell out of the sleigh, bumped his head and now has a case of amnesia. Fortunately, it is the Christmas season, so a fat man in a red suit doesn't attract all that much attention.
Nick and Marcia fly the sleigh around looking for Santa, while Santa wanders around trying to determine who he is. Naturally, he ends up working as a Santa in a store, but that quickly becomes a problem as he is not every good at it. Eventually, Nick and Marcia do find him and after some difficulties, his memory is restored.
There are so many humorous twists on the classic Santa stories that it cannot fail to amuse children. Some of the antics of the reindeer in demonstrating their dislike of Nick are very funny. I strongly encourage you to have your children read this book during the next Christmas season.
