I was given this book as a gift for my daughter and we just LOVE it!! She calls it her "Papi" book. My husband is currently deployed for the second time to Iraq, and this time our 3 year old realizes he is gone, so with this book it gives her a different insite about what Christmas is for him and that Santa wont forget him while he is there!! I have reccomended this to all of my friends that are in the military with kids and I even have it up on our Family Readiness Group website so everyone can find out about it!!!

AWESOME book. My husband is currently serving in Iraq and it was a very difficult Christmas for all of us. I bought multiple copies of the book. I kept one for myself, each of my children have one and I sent 2 copies to Iraq for my husband to share with his fellow soldiers. We all loved the book. I read it to my 12 and 13 year old children on Cristmas Eve before they went to bed and it helped bring us together. My husband was a little like SGT McClaus for his section. thank you for once again putting out another wonderful book.

My husband is a former Marine, and he saw this book and we had to get it for our first born. As for the people "complaining" about the smoke encircling his head like a wreath... Grow up, it's a book not an instruction manual to your children.

I purchased this book for my husband and kids for Christmas. I crossed through "Soldier" and wrote in "Marine" with a black sharpie. I also threw in some USMC references/jargon/rank/CH 46 etc. It was a hit... and a lot of fun since dad was deployed for the 2nd Christmas in 3 years.

We bought this for our 3yo on a whim. I think we read it 2 times a day for the months of December and January. It is now April and we still read it at least once a week. We bought several more copies to pass out as gifts.

LOVE IT!!! I actually had tears in my eyes while reading this! I can't wait until next year when I can start reading it on Christmas Eve to my little Army Brat! Great story, great pictures, very very nice.

great book for a military family, will help children when a loved one is away for the holidays, made me cry because its all true

My son and I really enjoy this book. My husband is deployed and missed Christmas. It's a nice, easy read and has great illustrations. I recommend this book to all military families, deployed or not.

I cannot wait for christmas to come around so we can read this to our son! Such a great book for soldiers families. I am buying it for our friends son for christmas as well!

I orginally bought this book at my local PX and when I got it home and read it I just had to buy a copy for my cousins son as well so I ordered it here! It is a WONDERFUL book! My son really enjoys it even now withth e holidays over. He points to allt he soliders and tells me which one he thinks daddy is :)

The pictures are colorful and the storyline is so creative!
