When Santa Claus Prayed

Dad, you're wrong about Santa Claus! I can't sit on baby Jesus's lap or even see him! I can't send letters to Jesus! Santa Claus is the star of Christmas. He should be in the middle of our front yard!Sammy is upset. He doesn't understand why his father makes Jesus the center of the Christmas decorations each year when Santa is the main focus everywhere else. Santa is just plain better! He's the one that brings the gifts, has the cool reindeer and makes everyone happy... or is he? Sammy is in for the surprise of his life when he finally meets Santa and learns what Santa really thinks about Christmas. When Santa Claus Prayed is a book that will really stay with you, whether you are young or old. See how we can celebrate both-Jesus in our hearts and Santa in our lives. This is a great book about the warm-hearted, but occasionally tense times that can take place at the end of each year. The memories we have and the ones we create will stay with us always; this book will be a great part of that. With this endearing short story, Gary Henry shows us we can celebrate the season just as much as the reason.
