For over 30 years, Santa has been sent around the globe, from Texas to Ireland, in everything from Cajun muskrat to Pennsylvania Dutch outfits, bringing good cheer and gifts to various segments of the population. But what was wrong, he wonders, with the classic Night Before Christmas? Why must he play sailor, firefighter, cowboy, and redneck? Why cant he just be himself? He gives the author who created these clever versions a piece of his mind and asserts himself as the cheerful old Santa he once was. This last book written by James Rice is quintessential Rice: a heartfelt and sassy homage to the classic The Night Before Christmas Series.
