Review: It shows one that the lack of halos with the boys had a personal family history, and it continued with these three.

I thought in the beginning it was going to be a  Christmas tale. I changed my perspective, when I finished the story. It had the setting of it, and young boys can be mischievious and take chances in their deeds. Growing up tale, it would have to be less tears and more direction by the parents then the "treatment," they got from one spouse and idle threats. Lessons sometimes are never learned by the young, until their agenda is affected or their own property is damaged or lost. Look at the world today of the young in their arrogant attitude sometimes in crossing the street. One day one driver just won't stop in time. It could be them being the victim. The Santa story for bad boys would be the old one parents warned us about, mainly receiving a lump of coal. I am just reflecting on the story without giving the plot away, as I liked the change for Santa being more than just "Jolly Old Saint Nick." It does put a cold spin on what does the bad boy get for Christmas. I think one review was right on for the few mistakes, and the flow might have been better without them. The story was a dark Christmas Tale for sure with a very heavy ending.
