As Santa himself relates in this elightful holiday read for the whole family, the trouble begins in 1841 when a new holiday tradition is born that threatens to ruin the spirit of Christmas forever. A gentleman named J.W. Parkingson hires a standin to portray Kris Kringle as part of a campaign to boost holiday sales at his dry goods store. The concept of using pseudo Santas for commercial profit unfortunately spreads throughout America, until the time arrives when, come Christmas, it seems there are pretend Clauses in every shop and on every street corner across the country. But in 2006, Santa knows it's time to step in when a toy company hatches soring a reality TV show, The Great Santa Search, which features a competition to find the "real" St. Nichollas.

With all the rich historical detail and glorious Christmas cheer that made The Autobiography of Santa Clause and How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas treasured family favorites.
