Book excerpt: The camera caught me wriggling in Santa’s lap, and soon, I was pregnant with the jolly gentleman’s baby! Cleo: I agreed to help an old family friend. Brody’s a professional photographer who said his usual elf bailed at the last minute. So I offered to take her place, figuring it wouldn’t be a big deal to take pictures of kids at the mall. But never underestimate Santa because beneath that big red suit and white beard is a man with washboard abs, devilish blue eyes, and a smile that makes my thighs clench as my insides go hot. Even more, Brody’s got a HUGE surprise that hangs all the way down to his knee! It swings and dangles, with a Christmas ornament that lights up in its own way at the end. Soon, I was sitting in Santa’s lap, but we weren’t just smiling for the crowd. Instead, the camera caught us in some naughty poses that were NEVER supposed to be captured on film. The best part? That no one could tell while I squirmed and panted breathlessly with my skirt flipped up in back. (At least, I don’t think so!) But now, the jolly gentleman’s left me with a gift because after Christmas break ends, I learn that the stork’s coming … with a special surprise for Brody and me! This is a follow-up to Three Weeks of Hedonism where we meet the sassy girl who was bullied for *allegedly* letting Santa take her while she posed in his lap. Fair warning: never bring your kids to Christmas at the mall because if the elf’s wearing a short skirt while gasping with a frozen smile, then it could really be happening! As always, high heat, no cheating, and no cliffhangers for my readers. HEA guaranteed.

Book excerpt: Who doesn't love Santa Claus? From award-winning photographer Ron Cooper comes a beautifully curated collection of fifty professional Santas from across the country. We Are Santa is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who slip into the red suit to spread Christmas cheer. Before and after portraits, behind-the-scenes stories of custom made costumes and specialized training, and surprising anecdotes of on-the-job encounters bring these Santas to life. Just as Humans of New York captures the lives of everyday people, We Are Santa celebrates the humanity of everyday Santas.

When Santa Mike, a Navy veteran and aircraft mechanic, meets a six-year-old girl with a prosthetic hand just like his own, he says, "Her eyes got big, and she threw her arms around my neck. It was the highlight of my season. That's why I’m Santa."

Download or read book Santa Claus written by Gerry Bowler and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining, often surprising look at the life of the world’s most influential fictional character. He is the embodiment of charity and generosity, a creation of mythology, a tool of clever capitalists. The very idea of him is enduring and powerful. Santa Claus was born in early-nineteenth-century America, but his family tree goes back seven hundred years to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of children. Intervening generations were shaggy and strange — whip-wielding menaces to naughty boys and girls. Yet as the raucous, outdoor, alcohol-fuelled holiday gave way to a more domestic, sentimental model, a new kind of gift-bringer was called for — a loveable elf, still judgmental but far less threatening. In this engaging social and cultural history, Gerry Bowler examines the place of Santa Claus in history, literature, advertising, and art. He traces his metamorphosis from a beardless youth into a red-suited peddler. He reveals the lesser-known aspects of the gift-bringer’s life — Santa’s involvement with social and political causes of all stripes (he enlisted on the Union side in the American Civil War), his starring role in the movies and as adman for gun-makers and insurance companies. And he demolishes the myths surrounding Santa Claus and Coca-Cola. Santa Claus: A Biography will stand as the classic work on the long-lived and multifarious Mr. Claus.
