"Slover's charming novella puts an adventurous spin on the Santa Claus tale." ( Library Journal)

Santa is real!

The simple truths and sources made an accurate story account about Santa Claus: I’m a believer.

My new annual Christmas Book

Would you listen to The Christmas Chronicles again? Why?

It's a little different from the traditional American Santa Clause stories. I really enjoyed the premise and the execution. It maintained a Christian connection without being evangelical. I think from now, every year when I'm decorating the outside of the house and buying for kids Christmas present charities, I'll be listening to the story. It will remind me of the rules regarding gift receiving once you've given gifts under Santa's name.

The best Christmas surprise ever

I accidentally purchased this on audible last year by clicking on the wrong thing while multitasking. For whatever reason, I was meant to read this wonderful, wonderful story. This year I purchased several copies used online to share with others because it lightened my heart and was so entertaining. So, settle in (with peppermint hot chocolate) & give it a listen. I am so thankful to the author for our new Christmas tradition. This year we listened with our boys in the car as part of holiday trips. Be of good cheer!

A must listen every year.

This is one of the books that I listen to every Christmas. A wonderful twist on the Santa history.

A must listen every year!

I’ve listened to this story every year since it came out. The year it was released a radio station in our state performed it in four short broadcasts and I fell in love with it. It’s my favorite Christmas story.

Great story and recording

Would you listen to The Christmas Chronicles again? Why?

A very captivating story. Couldn't stop listening. Had to listen to the whole thing as I drove home from my daughter's after Christmas. Because I heard a few episodes on Utah Public Radio before Christmas, I bought Cd's for all four of my children and their families. They liked it, too. This is a first-rate story and first-rate recording. Love the voice of the narrator.

Beautiful Christmas Story!

I have listened to this every year since I first purchased it. Always gets me in the Christmas spirit!

Great read for Christmas!

I love this book and listen to it every Christmas while preparing pastries for my neighbors. It's a delightful story that bears repeating.

Enjoyable listen

I recently read another Santa biography and I’m enjoying listening to various versions to hear the similarities and differences. I love that this book keeps the magic alive and told a version that separated St Nick from Claus. SPOILER: a lead reindeer dies and another well known reindeer takes his place near the end, I was not happy about that at all and did not see the necessity of it. Glad my kids weren’t listening with me.
I did like the reader’s voice. It was warm and joyful.

That is te question of the century? Wiat stood out the most. Hope.

I Loved the message the entire message. A story well worth reading.or listening to if you are near blind.
