When I was very little, my mom would sit my sister and me down in front of the crackling fire (often with hot chocolate in hand) and read the story to us. The Story of Santa Claus is an awe-inspiringly illustrated tale detailing how Nicholas Claus transformed into Saint Nicholas, how he traveled to the North Pole to set up a toy workshop, how his relationship with the elves and reindeer began, and how he came to embody the Christmas spirit. One book in particular kept my belief in the magic of the holiday alive as I got older- The Story of Santa Claus, written by “Scribbler Elf” and illustrated by the “Elves” (edited by Tim Paulson and Clement Clarke Moore illustrations by Scott Gustafson). However as Christmas draws near I can’t help but reflect on my childhood Christmases and the books that I truly loved reading year after year. I know that we tend to feature books for adults (or at least young adults) on this Books That Matter blog.
