Is Santa real? Yes, he is! He was born in the year 270, spread love and good cheer and, through a miracle, he still brings Christmas gifts to children everywhere .

A Letter from Santa reassures kids who are starting to doubt that, of course, Santa is real. Kids this age are smart, they want some proof. So Santa starts with the historical record.

Santa retells his life as life as Nicholas, starting with his boyhood in Turkey. Kids will identify with his childhood, including his dislike of being dragged to Church, his abhorrence for healthy food, and his reluctance to give up any of his beloved toys. Then one day, at his parents request, Nicholas offers his prized toy camel to a child in need, and something happens. The seeds of Santa’s destiny are planted.

As Nicholas grows up, he decides to become a priest. This is the perfect job for him- someone who has decided he likes to help people and give presents. Santa writes of adventures traditionally told about Saint Nicholas, including his gifts to three sisters who had no dowry, and his advocacy to free prisoners.

But it’s not until his life on earth ends and he meets God, that the real miracle of Santa emerges. God is so pleased with what Nicholas has been doing on earth, he wants him to continue! And he wants him to deliver gifts all over the world! That would be impossible for a mere human, even Nicholas, but God has a plan. And that’s where the kids are let in on the secret. A secret that will keep the Christmas magic for them the rest of their lives.
