About The Book

There is a story about Christmas that was not shared very often. It was kept a secret for many years. Those that knew of it were specially chosen by Santa.

Over time Santa told the story more often, until it became one of his favorite memories. It is a story of the magic of Christmas and the creation of the “Christmas Key.

The story dates back centuries and it all started one Christmas Eve. Santa was busy delivering gifts to all the children in the world, when he suddenly realized there were numerous homes with locks and bolts on their doors. Some homes had chimneys, but many did not. This challenged Santa’s magical powers to enter the homes. Santa grew very tired as he continued into the evening. It was a dilemma for him. What should he do? Time was already so short on Christmas Eve to deliver all the gifts, so it was becoming necessary to find a way to make it easier.
