Holly Claus the Christmas Princess

 Shirley J.            Juvenile Fiction                    When a little boy writes and asks Santa what He would like              for Christmas, Santa says a child and Santa's Christmas wish is answered with a baby girl 

Holly Claus the Christmas Princess by Brittney Bryant   48 pages

A little boy feels sorry for Santa one Christmas.   Everyone always writes to Santa with their wish list, but, this little boy instead wrote and asked Santa what He would like for Christmas.   Santa was so surprised and happy that he told the little boy how he and his wife longed for a child of their own and if he could have one wish it would be for a baby of their very own.   Someone was listening in the wish making realm and lo and behold the Clauses were blessed with a beautiful baby girl of their own.   Nothing can remain all happy or all good for long it seems.  An evil wizard casts a cuse on the baby and all the immortals for woe to fall on all of them until the day that Holly gives him her pure heart and agrees to marry him!  HORRORS!  The book is beautifully illustrated and a good story to add to any Christmas collection.  I recommend this one to listeners up to age 9.   It is a little longer and a little more intense than the whimsical stories.
