• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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!?

The whole idea was so crazy and sudden that I burst out laughing with a "HO! HO! HO!!" to fit the moment -"SEE," he said, "That's what I mean; you'll make a GREAT Santa!!"

Join Santa in his adventures spanning the likes of toddlers to teens to Great Grandma Carol and a few more special folks in between! An uplifting quick read for the Season-ending with the traditional "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

Autorenporträt

Over my last thirty-three years of working life, I've been an environmental scientist, chemist, air quality modeler, consultant, adjunct biology instructor and none of it has been as unique as the time I spent being a Mall Santa.

Given my background, I'm more likely to write about Biochemical Oxygen Demand methodology or something else of interest in the field of environmental science, but since it's Christmas time and these mall memory experiences have endeared themselves to me, in the Spirit of the Christmas season, I wanted to share some of these lighthearted adventures with you.

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 from our 17th-floor apartment of a building complex at the top of a 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 enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoyed experiencing them.

And thank you for buying my little book.

Best Wishes & Merry Christmas!

HO! HO! HO!
