Being Santa Claus

A veteran Santa reveals heartwarming true stories and lessons from his twenty-year career spreading Christmas magic. With the holiday shopping season beginning earlier each year, more than ever. Americans are struggling to remember the true meaning of Christmas. And who better to deliver the gift of Christmas inspiration than a man who has spent the last two decades playing Santa? Sal Lizard was in his twenties when his beard and hair turned completely white. Today he appears everywhere from malls and parades to schools and hospitals. And— from his custom-made red velvet suits to the mistletoe that hangs from the rearview mirror in his Santa-mobile—he is Santa Claus three hundred and sixty-five days a year. In Being Santa Claus Sal reflects on his experiences with both children and adults including: Christmas magic is all around us: We don’t always see it, but it is there, shaping and enriching our lives. Sometimes you need to go that extra mile:Santa Claus is the one person who can’t even use a blizzard as an excuse not to honor his commitments, and Sal teaches adults the importance of always showing up for our children. Even a small child can make a big difference: Sal has met some impressive children over the years, and he’s learned that you don’t need to be a grown-up to make an impact on the world around you. In Being Santa Claus Sal shares these lessons, along with often heartwarming, occasionally heartbreaking, and sometimes downright hysterical stories from his twenty-year career as Santa.

It was summer in Oxley Crossing and Christmas was fast approaching. The very last thing Millie Campbell needed was a speeding ticket from the new sheriff–err sergeant–in town. Millie had never actually been given a ticket, speeding or otherwise, and it was a point of pride that she could talk her way out of anything…until she met Sergeant Roman Jamieson. Roman had heard all about Millie and her speedster ways and as the newest member of the local police force, it was his job to show his constables how it was done. He was confident in his ability to withstand her supposed charms…he’d faced down hardened criminals in the past and didn’t even blink…but he wasn’t as immune to Millie’s charms as he thought. Roman’s fifteen year old daughter signs him up to play the local Santa Claus in the Oxley Crossing Christmas festival and who should turn up to be his ever-helpful elf? The one woman who has taken an instant dislike of him, Millie Campbell.
