Everybody deserves a holiday, but does anybody deserve every day off but one? Santa gets all the glory, but who's really the power behind the sleigh? This book is about the woman who really does the work (gee, like that's unusual), and her efforts to get Santa off his chair, away from the TV, and back in the workshop. It happened one day when many of the elves got sick and Mrs. Claus had to step in to help. Now, you know what it's like when a woman starts helping. Pretty soon Santa was spending most of his time watching TV, doing research on the new toys. Mrs. Claus needed to take drastic action, and she knew just what to do. Out came the magic markers and suddenly Mrs. Claus had a severe case of hiccumititus. Now the workshop is running properly again.

When the residents of recently downtrodden and always sodden Surfland, Oregon, gather for the annual Christmas festival, every kid in town shows up, many waiting for the only gift they’ll get this season. It’s been a rough year in town—and it’s about to get rougher. The gifts have disappeared, the tree tilts at a dangerous angle, and as a restaurant full of diners with crab mallets gets angrier and angrier, Sandy Claws, the town mascot, fears he’s about to get whacked. Once again, the town counts on Jackson Poe to save the sleigh. Volunteering to get the gifts, he ends up alone in the dark with a gorgeous supermodel. Trapped on the side of the road with her and a dog whose behind is perpetually at half-staff, Poe and Christmas are running out of time. In Jackson Poe’s first family-friendly adventure, the message is sweeter, but the humor and mystery are still killer: How can a truckload of toilets save the town from a SANDY CLAWS SLAY? “I giggled my way from on end of this short book all the way to the other. ...
