True Stories from the North Pole
Santa John of Georgia loves the stories of Santa, the North Pole, and Christmas. He enjoys sharing the stories with children during his home visits. Through the tales, Santa John shares the legends of Santa and explains Santa’s magic in a way children can understand and appreciate.
Santa John has dreamed of creating a series of stories about Santa and life at the North Pole for many years. Mrs. C is capturing Santa’s stories and turning them into books. They both hope that children around the world will treasure the stories.
The first story, “A Hippopotamus for Christmas” will be available on Amazon on July 29, 2023. Santa John uses the story to explain why Santa is not always able to bring live animals to children.
A Hippopotamus for Christmas
The story of Bruce the Hippopotamus is one of Santa John’s favorite North Pole stories. He frequently shares the story to help kids to understand why sometimes Santa has to say no to their wishes.
The story starts with a child’s request for a live animal. The request was not the typical one for a puppy or kitten but for a hippopotamus. At first, Santa is taken in by the novelty of the request. He decides that he wants to grant the girl’s wish.
The elves created a detailed plan for bringing the hippo to the North Pole. Then it is up to Santa to deliver the hippo to the girl during his Christmas Eve travels.
Although the elves were able to get the hippopotamus to the North Pole, they did encounter a few issues. The difficulties the elves encountered in transporting the hippo were nothing compared to what happened when Santa took off with the hippo in the sleigh.
This book is sure to make it easier for parents to explain to their children why Santa might not bring them a new pet for Christmas.
