Highlights the spiritual meaning of Christmas by listing the ways in which Santa Claus has the same characteristics as Jesus has in the Bible.

"A beautiful telling about a generous man and the principles of giving that every modern Christian needs to know." - Andy Andrews, NYT bestselling author of THE NOTICER and THE TRAVELER'S GIFT I believe in Santa Claus. He was a compassionate soul, generous, loving, and unwavering in his belief. He was a man with a message only seeking to serve the Master. He changed the world. The Man. The story of a man, born to plenty, but orphaned to an incredible life of service. Nicholas learned the secrets to giving by leaving treasures in the stillness of night. Known as the kind bishop, the Christ Kind, SinterKlass, and eventually Santa Claus, he is a manifestation of the spirit of giving that inspires us each holiday season to bless those in need.

Mr. Currie discusses how it can be difficult to share the reasons he believes in God, which is what motivated him to write this book. The main thesis is that it makes as much sense scientifically and logically to believe in God as to not believe. He accepts that you may disagree with his choice, but hopes you will consider that belief is not necessarily a delusion or something that ruins everything. With some discussion about what we mean by belief and God, he presents the reasons and evidence that support his belief. Some reasons to believe are based on things he doesn't believe. He doesn't believe that nothing produces something, that matter has always existed, or that intelligence, consciousness, emotions and a sense of morality arose from inanimate matter. He believes that there is evidence of design in creation and life that points to God. These things require an autonomous, intelligent, external to our time and space entity, God. He also believes that the arguments against God are not adequate to negate the plausibility of sensible belief. He believes in free will. A person can choose to believe or not. Either choice is based on a person's understanding of the evidence along with faith.

"Each magical moment of Christmas brings us closer to Christ. From green fir trees to the lights that surround them, every traditional detail brings to our memory that silent night of Nativity. As we celebrate the season, surrounded by shopping, stockings, and all things red and green, this festive book, with its stunningly beautiful artwork, reminds us to reflect on what the Christmas spirit means, renewing our belief in our Redeemer, Jesus Christ."--Page [2] of cover.

A history of Santa and his elves.

"What grown woman claims to have seen Santa Claus? Mandy Reese, for one--on a very special Christmas Eve when she was eight years old. These days, Mandy works at a year-round Christmas store in Tall Pine, California, where customers love to hear about her childhood encounter with Saint Nick. But when Jake Wyndham arrives in town--charming, gorgeous, extremely practical--Mandy faces a dilemma. Deny what she saw, or let Jake think she's sugarplum crazy?"--
