    About this ebook

    A timeless magical Christmas Tale bringing the Christmas feeling to all the family.

    The Christmas Tree is decorated, the lights are up, it’s cold outside and snow is falling. Santa and his reindeer are on their way – it’s Christmas Eve. A treat has been left and the family have gone to bed hoping Santa will visit.

    As night falls, the air is still and there’s a sense of anticipation and magic in the air. You can feel butterflies in your stomach.

    Then on this Christmas night, the family hear what can only be Santa Claus, his sleigh and reindeer soaring through the cold night sky and landing on their roof to deliver their Christmas surprises.
