Ordering Information
I've always loved Christmas for as long as I can
remember. The funny gifts, the touching gifts,
the homemade stockings filled with a coloring book,
crayons, and a giant candy cane. I remember
the year my dad told us Christmas had gotten too
commercial and we were going to make homemade
decorations for the tree that year, along with many
other memories. I also think I
had been taking Christmas for granted until I read
Love, Santa by Sharon Glassman.
With wit and
style she took me on a journey as she searched
for the elusive Christmas she knew just had to
be out there. I recognized myself in some of the
observations, and I found myself wishing I could
have met her on her search to tell her about my
holiday experiences and my family. But in the end
I had changed my mind. She needed to make this
journey, so she could end up a champion for those
who need one during the holidays. Whether you are Christian,
or Jewish, or non-religious you will understand after
reading Glassman's book that Christmas is about giving,
and about making someone feel so special with one act of
kindness that it changes their life and yours.
Glassman comes off as cynical and sarcastic and yet as you
read the book you will find yourself laughing at her witty
observations. You will also get to know her, and will find yourself
in tears as she comes to her final realizations. Love, Santa is not
a sentimental book, nor is it inspirational in the traditional
sense, but it is life changing for all who read it and act upon
Glassman's discoveries.
