This sweet Christmas book, written by J. Theron Elkins and illustrated by Ag Jatkowska, will become a holiday favorite as children cuddle up with their parents to read this wonderful story of love and gratitude before they close their eyes to go to sleep.
As his eyes slowly closed,
Once he turned off the light,
Santa whispered at last …
“Merry Christmas, sleep tight.” 
A Christmas Gift for Santa:
  • Is a unique take on the Christmas storiesI 
  • Is an adorable holiday title about Santa Claus
  • Includes delightful rhyming text that the little ones in your life will want to read again and again

My Review:
Going to be real and just say it.... I am disappointed this is a zondervan book.   I may have had high expectations that somehow the author would incorporate the true meaning of Christmas- JESUS Birth but no mention of Jesus.  The tiny stable near the Christmas tree in one picture made me get excited that Santa would learn about Jesus, but nope!  Instead Santa is left looking for his Christmas gift.  Maybe I need to write the story where Santa hears about Jesus instead??  

The rhymes are cute and Mrs. Clause writes a nice hand written card and homemade gift if you need a couple more positives.  

Thanks Zondervan for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.  I was not paid for this and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.

You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.     We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)
