Book recommendation: Are You Grumpy, Santa?

Buy it: Are You Grumpy, Santa?

Are You Grumpy, Santa? (By Gregg and Evan Spiridellis) – This may be my favorite children’s Christmas book. It’s both funny and heart-warming. In this story, it’s Christmas Eve and things aren’t going too well for Santa. The elves shrank his favorite Santa suit in the dryer, the reindeer are buried in the snow and he gets stuck in a chimney. Santa is grumpy. But then, at one of the houses, Santa finds cookies and a note letting him know he is loved. This is a wonderful story about the importance of doing nice things for others.
