Review: Interesting take on Santa Claus, but the story needs work.

This story is really short, only a few pages. It's an interesting take on the legend of Santa Claus. In this story Santa Claus is the creation of God who gives him all the reindeer and the sleigh after a long life and a granted wish of bringing gifts to children. I've never heard Santa Claus presented in this way so that is one interesting aspect of the story.This is not usually a type of story that I would read, being that I don't have a great deal of experience with organized religion. The tone felt somewhat "preachy" to me, rather than the magical fantastical story that is described in the synopsis. I feel that this could do with a more thorough edit as well, as some of the language feels like it would benefit from being tightened up, and there are some errors in the story.The overall message is thoughtful, but it could have been better executed, in my opinion.* I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.*
