He is two thousand five hundred years old, and he is tired of being a story.
His name is Nathaniel. He was a Levite of the Temple, and he was there on the night the oil did not run out. For twenty-five centuries since, he has put gold through the windows of the poor in eleven kingdoms - and he has never once let anybody put anything back through his.
This year the cold has come for him.
There is a hollow man at his door who has spent twenty years proving he does not exist. There is a nineteen-year-old girl in a shopping mall with a camera who sees straight through him. And there is a small clay lamp he carried out of a burning Temple as a boy that has never, in the whole age of the world, agreed to light.
Before Christmas morning he will fly one more night. He will take up a daughter he did not ask for. And he will kneel at last on a cold hillside outside Bethlehem, where he was four hundred and seventy-five years old and certain he already understood what he had been given.
Santa Claus tells the truth about himself. All of it.
The Real Santa Claus is a heartwarming Christian Christmas novel about giving, receiving, and the night the whole world was told to fear not. It is a story for anyone who has ever been better at helping than at being helped - and for the families who love them.
A clean read, start to finish. No profanity. Nothing you would need to explain to a child listening in. Written to be read aloud by the tree, and to be handed down.
Perfect as a Christmas gift for readers of inspirational fiction, faith-filled family stories, and anyone still looking for the true meaning of Christmas.
