Awesome read! Brings through the meaning of Christmas and Santa. ( )

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a bio-memoir/inspirational book by the man who plays Santa at radio Music Hall. He describes is life in terms of embracing Santa—i.e. the true spirit of the holiday. It is an interesting, inspirational read, providing one man’s story of how he grew up and got to the position he obviously loves so much, discussing the good and bad aspects of his life as well as the messages and/or inspiration he has learned from Santa and others along the way. The book can help anyone get into the true spirit of Christmas. I found it uplifting, though sometimes not exciting enough to keep my attention. Nevertheless, it was fascinating to read one person’s story about life (and it has been a long, fulfilling one from what I read) while, at the same time, learning a few of life’s good, solid lessons. I think anyone looking for a good, inspirational, uplifting book about the holiday will enjoy this read. I did. However, I think the book could have been a bit shorter, and the message would have still been very clear. ( )
