Download or read book Santa s Message for You written by Jeannie J. Griffin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeanie J., retired actress and songstress, is recognized and featured with a biographical profile in Marquis' "Who's Who in America", "Who's Who in American Women", "Who's Who in Entertainment", and "Who's Who in the West". Jeannie has been a director, producer, costume designer and coach - and is now a fiction writer. She has also been a grade school Art Teacher, as well as an Advisor and Teacher for mentally retarded children. Jeannie raised five children of her own, and was also given the opportunity to guide and care for four other children. One can understand her love for children. Jeannie has become very dismayed at the Art World, the latest movie presentations and their portrayal of Santa. She believes the insincerity and disrespect toward others we see exhibit in our adult attitudes in this technological world is rubbing off on our kids. This is not something we should take lightly - after all, children are our future. Our young children's innocence, excitement, freshness and wonder is so short-lived but very beneficial. I felt the need to get a message out about the importance of attitude, setting goals, believing in oneself, caring, giving and sharing. I wanted to find a way to reinforce these positive values in our children. How better to promote these values (which Santa is supposed to represent) to all beliefs and backgrounds? A renewal of Santa and his history has great value, as he is a world-renowned figure that all children respect, love and comprehend. Our world needs more love, caring and respect. Reading my story to my own grandchildren, with a flare of drama and excitement, watching their attentive, wide-eyed interest in each detail, prompted this idea. Santa's message is that he needs your help. Their refreshing eagerness to learn historical facts about Santa, their sincere concern and delightful expressions deepened my conviction to develop this story. I have added some new helpers to Santa's group of friends - an Elf and Classy Lady, a helpful little dog. Who is better suited than Santa and his helpers to provide role models for children to admire and respect. What better time than at Christmas to pass along his message and ask children to help remember it all year long: #1 Santa needs your help! #2 Always be kind and helpful to others - this keeps Christmas alive all year long. #3 You play an important role in helping Santa make the world a happier place. I sincerely hope that you enjoy this uplifting story, and that you come to enjoy Christmas as much as I do (it's my favorite time of year!) and that you do not let it end on New Year's Day. Look for more stories about Santa and Classy Lady! Help train a young mind to appreciate goodness and sharing, and to hold on to wonder - all will prosper from this blessing. The world needs this spirit, and anyone who helps renew it is truly Santa's helper! Sincerely, Jeannie J.,

Download or read book Letters to Santa Claus written by The Elves and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “poignant” collection of real letters sent to Santa Claus—a town in Indiana—from the 1930s to the twenty-first century, from both children and adults (The New York Times). For countless Christmases, children—and sometimes adults—have stuffed their dreams, wishes, and promises into envelopes. Over many decades, millions of these letters have poured into Santa Claus, Indiana. Arriving from all corners of the globe, the letters ask for toys, family reunions, snow, and help for the needy—sometimes the needy being the writers themselves. They are candid, heartfelt, and often blunt. Many children wonder how Santa gets into their chimneyless homes. One child reminds Santa that she has not hit her brothers over 1,350 times that year, and another respectfully requests two million dollars in “cold cash.” One child hopes to make his life better with a time machine, an adult woman asks for a man, and one miscreant actually threatens Santa’s reindeer! Containing more than 250 actual letters and envelopes from the naughty and nice reaching back to the 1930s, this moving book will touch hearts and bring back memories of a time in our lives when the man with a white beard and a red suit held out the hope that our wishes might come true. “Often very affecting . . . also offers an unusual window into American history.” —Library Journal “The letters . . . are alternately silly and somber, hilarious and heartfelt.” —The Weekly Standard
