I never had a Christmas like this!!! Bursting into the photo lab David, the mall manager, said to me, "QUICK, put down what you're doing; our mall Santa canceled, and we need a Santa NOW!!" On our way out the door he said, "I need you to be Santa for this week through Christmas Eve," and then almost as a second thought, he asked, "Have you ever been a Santa before?" I said, "No, and why ME??" "You're big, you don't need pillows, you laugh a lot, and your eyes even kind of twinkle a bit," he said. I was dumbstruck--thinking about myself as Santa!?

Autorenporträt
Over my last thirty-three years of working life, I've been an environmental scientist, chemist, air quality modeler, consultant, and an adjunct biology and business math instructor. Given my background, I'm more likely to write about Biochemical Oxygen Demand methodology or something else of interest in the field of science, but since it's Christmas time, this story came to me while thinking about my father and grandfather. To give you some behind-the-scenes info . . . while writing this book I have watched through my office window the monkeys feeding in the jungle trees on the high hill across from our 17th-floor apartment of a building complex at the top of another high hill at the end of a road by the ocean shore on an island called Penang, off the coast of Malaysia. Great scenery and inspiration for a Christmas story...well, maybe not really "Christmasy," but it still works! I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. And thank you for buying my little book. Best Wishes & Merry Christmas! To the Joy of Jesus! --Nick Nichols <<>>
