The Santa Claus Chronicles : Heartwarming Tales From a Real-Life Santa

Santa Dan's Stories Will Soothe Your Soul Thirty years ago, Dan Short left the corporate world to follow a calling—to give the gift of God's love to children and adults alike. How did he do it? By becoming Santa Claus, of course! These are "Santa Dan's" tales of hope and humor, collected from his three decades of playing Jolly Old Saint Nick. And as you might have guessed, Santa has his share of stories to tell—some tearful, some joyful, and all of them filled with heartwarming Christmas spirit. You'll meet some of the unforgettable people Santa Dan has encountered... Anna, a young cancer patient whose fulfillment of her dying wish becomes a life-changing experience for those around her. Rose, an elderly woman with a longstanding grudge against Saint Nick. Terry, a precocious boy with more moxie than clothing. Front Yard Santa, a neighborhood icon whose passing prompts a poignant gesture from a fellow Santa. Faith, Hope, and Grace, three enterprising young girls whose overwhelming generosity befits their virtuous names. ...and you'll be inspired to share the joy of Jesus with those around you! "The Santa Clause Chronicles is far more than a collection of cute little Christmas tales. Recognizing that Santa brings much joy to those he sees, the author embraces his role each season and shares the Spirit of Christmas wholeheartedly. Each true story demonstrates how God uses him to minister, to love, and to care for all of God's children. This collection is a beautiful expression of the Christmas spirit"-- Provided by publisher
