Santa Celebrates Jesus' Birthday

The idea for Santa Celebrates Jesus' Birthday came about when a small group of Christian parents were brainstorming ideas to keep all the "magic" of Santa Claus for their kids, while not diluting the real reason for the season, the birth of God's Son Jesus Christ. One of the parents said "I just tell my kids that Santa is this guy who is really excited about Jesus' birthday, so every year he gives out toys to kids as part of the celebration". After subsequent research revealed that the similarities between the real Saint Nicholas and the traditional myths about Santa Claus were amazingly similar, the inspiration for a book that would merge the two ideas together was born. The hope that the author has for this book is that parents would use this book as a springboard to teach their children about Jesus Christ, using the all too familiar imaginative figure of Santa Claus.
