| Publisher Description: For over thirty years, Santa has been sent around the globe, from Texas to Ireland, in everything from Canjun muskrat to Pennsylvania Dutch outfits, bringing good cheer and gifts to various segments of the population. But what was wrong, he wonders, with the classic "Night Before Christmas"? Why must he play sailor, firefighter, cowboy, and redneck? Why can't he just be himself? He gives the author who created these clever versions a piece of his mind, and asserts himself as the cheerful, old Santa that he once was. |
