Review: Sweet, heart-warming holiday short story
Rating: 4 out of 5

(★★★★1/2) An octogenarian escaping her retirement home to elope with the visiting Santa?  And the grandkids are left to be the responsible ones?  How can you resist? ^_^Despite being predictable, CATCH THAT SANTA was a lovely "feel good" read with my hot chocolate (smothered in marshmallows, of course).  An optimistic story about a second chance at love (in two different meanings), Karen Docter did a wonderful job of weaving a coherent story, creating relatable characters, and conveying emotional depth in such a short length.  So I can't help but wonder how much better the story would've been had it been longer. Nonetheless, CATCH THAT SANTA satisfies the reader with the perfect ending.(My thanks, Secret Book Claus(e)... yes, I caught the double play on the title. ^_^)
