It bridges the Santa story, so that it allows for the spirit of giving and Christmas to continue, and encourages the reader to stay in the enjoyment and excitement of
Christmas without being let down about a man in a red suit. Joy is still real. Excitement and loving and giving are still very real things that we should cherish, especially around Christmas time. This book helps to preserve those things in a child’s heart. Highly recommended.

A charming storybook that will rekindle your faith in the Christmas spirit. Your Santa Agent Invitation is a fascinating and realistic explanation of that magical question that we have all asked when we were young and led with confidence in the magic and miracle of Christmas. A wonderful reading gift for the holidays.
