EWTN Religious Catalogue states:
“Author Jeanne Pieper presents the beautiful and true story of how St. Nicholas was transformed into the legend of Santa Claus in this touching tale. With a lovely introduction by Pat Boone this book will help families counter the secular Santa Claus by combining the two major symbols of Christmas - the Christ Child and Santa - in a way that connotes their proper relationship - the secular subservient to the sacred as depicted by the beautiful figurine of the Kneeling Santa. This book is appropriate for children ages 3 and up. Hardcover. 28 pages.
MY REVIEW: Pat Boon states, “Santa Clause and Jesus of Bethlehem do belong together.” This book tells the story of the real St. Nicholas and the connections with the Living Jesus. It is a wonderful story that is not very well known. Christmas Eve with the Savior and Santa Clause was celebrated in the home of my Grandparents every year and they do not contradict the message of Bethlehem and the Savior of the world being born. I love my copy of this book and the beautiful ceramic of the kneeling Santa that goes with it.
