We did stockings for grandparents, too!Īt any rate, a big thank you for a lovely story, to this skilled author. In our home, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, and what that means for the world, above all, but do also love the fun of stockings and Santa stuffing them, cookies and milk for the jolly man, carrots set out for the hungry reindeer, and, most of all, the gleeful squeals sure to follow in the morning! The true story of St Nicholas and of traditions around the world have been taught from the beginning, and it all seems to have blended seamlessly.Īs a child grew older and began to question, she was apprenticed to be a helper-elf, and was just as excited about helping to stuff the stockings, (and be quiet about it), as she once was to be on the receiving end, not that that ended.
While there are Santa spoilers in this book, there are also very good, (dare I say wise?), Santa tips for parents who want to be truthful with their children, while retaining the innocent joy of this tradition. The author manages to fit the true meaning of Christmas into this story about "Mrs Santa" and her escapades just beautifully, and I think it's better done than I've seen before. Instead of going home to Indiana, she wants to be far away from her. Very cute Christmas story! Much better than most, I thought! I suppose it's quite difficult to write a Christmas tale that's not predictable, and this one is that, but manages to be so with a cast of sweet, kind, imperfect, (and a few grinchy), characters that grieved and grinned with. The story is about a woman, Helena (Lena) Markham, who has just been paroled from prison.
