Review: Nice Story Overall

I wasn't sure what to think about this book when Mr. Roloff first contacted me. It was an interesting idea, to say the least. Combining both our Christian version of how Christmas came to be with the story of Santa Claus. Although the story was for the most part quite well written, I just couldn't bring myself to love it. It was, however, a good story overall.There were a few little things that bugged me and kept me from loving it, one of which being that the Bible says that Jesus(even as a child!), never sinned, yet there is an instance described in which he disobeys Mary. Despite that, I think this book could definitely be a fun read-a-loud story for families looking to spend time together during the holiday season. I found it, despite the few instances like the one I mentioned, very well thought out.The writing is clear and I feel that there is definitely a place for a story like this. So, again, not a favorite to me but could be very enjoyable to read to an elementary-aged child-- it is certainly different than the usual stories you read revolving around St. Nick!*I received this book for review from the author in exchange for my honest opinion. This in no way affected my thoughts expressed in this review***For more reviews, book spotlights, giveaways and more visit my blog at [...]**
