For 12 years the author played Santa Claus anonymously in New York City in response to letters from needy children addressed simply to Santa Claus, North Pole. This is the story of these children and the anonymous man in the red suit. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you feel good. The book was condensed in Readers Digest.

What Christmas really means,
By Violetta Bekiaris (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Christmas Story, a true story (Hardcover)
I read the story "A Christmas Story" and as a 33 year old I have been through some tough times myself but reading the story just made me cry like a baby... This is what Christmas really means. GOD has definetly left some Angels here on earth.

By wordsmth@flash.net (Tustin, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Christmas Story, a true story (Hardcover)
Whatever your religious persuasion, you can't help but crack a smile and shed a tear reading this book. It's not just for the holidays, but should be read year 'round. I've given it as a gift for many years now. And will continue the tradition with my own baby.

This man actually played Santa Claus in N.Y.C.for 12 years,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Christmas Story, a true story (Hardcover)
This little book reflects the true spirit of Christmas carried to the poor neighborhoods of N.Y.C., to children whose impoverished lives were made a little brighter by this stranger in a white beard. It's a treasure
