Preface

Don’t ever believe the slippery, yucky nonsense that human beings can’t change. Even gigantic snow monsters have been known to stop terrorizing people when they figure out the enormous importance of everyone and everything on earth getting along. Humans are a lot more logical than dim-witted snow monsters that always forget how huge they are and destroy buildings and other things without meaning to.

These silly creatures also forget to take their cold medicine before climbing the highest mountains in the North Pole and get the most horrible colds, sneezing tons of snow all over the place. I hate to burst your bubble, but you might as well know that there are many times when you think it’s snowing, but it’s really a snot nosed snow monster with a thunderous cold.

Another unpleasant thing about snow monsters is that they often neglect to pour foot powder on their humongous, stinky athlete’s feet. I mean really, really smelly feet! You see, they step on all kinds of yucky things like smelly swamps, reindeer droppings, and elf ear wax.

Santa of course chastises the reindeer for being so unhygienic and elves for cleaning their pointy ears with their fingers and flicking the wax to the ground, but the reindeer and elves continue their rein of yuckiness. Secretly, they like annoying the snow monsters who roar when they step on a reindeer turd or feel the gross squishiness of ear wax under their feet. Snow monsters really get furious when these things happen, but as I said before, they have been known to control their hot-ice tempers and change into gentler and kinder creatures. I repeat, if they can do it then people can change too. Of course they can!!! Believe me when I tell you it’s more of a won’t than a can’t. People’s mouths and brains may fill themselves with, I just can’t!

Then they give the big litany of can’t complaints:

I can’t do better.

I can’t be better.

I can’t, can’t, CAN’T!

(It’s really: I won’t, I won’t, I won’t.)

It’s really within reach of their free will to become better people. Just ask Snowy Claus.

Chapter 1

Snowbella, I think you should accompany Alma Aurora this Christmas Eve, Santa stated, his voice thoughtful and solemn.

Gramps, you want us to deliver the Christmas gifts again? Snowy asked, surprised.

Snowy could hardly believe that a whole year had already gone by since that fateful night when her gramps had forced her to deliver the presents alongside the angel Alma Aurora who gave out the spiritual gifts. If you don’t already know the story, please don’t judge Santa Claus too harshly. Don’t call him irresponsible for supposedly neglecting his duties. Give him some slack. You see, Santa, being a good and caring grandfather, had decided he needed to do something about his granddaughter’s horrendous and deplorable attitude about Christmas.

Admit it that you would probably do what he did to get a loved one on the right path.

To Santa, being who he was, it was just too much for him that his own flesh and blood didn’t appreciate the best time of the year when people’s often cold and stony hearts cracked open even just a little bit. He loved that magic filled the air with bright lights, pumpkin spices, and good cheer. Indeed, it was the season of miracles—when anything could happen. It was a time when God’s touch was clearly visible everywhere.

Celebrating what Jesus’s birth meant to the world—well, that was the best thing about the Christmas season in Santa’s view. Way, way better than any high gadget toys or pricy things he would deliver. Santa’s humble nature caused him to always give Jesus his rightful place at the head of the Christmas table. Santa never forgot even for a single second that while he delivered material things, Jesus delivered love.

Love was the best gift anyone could have, Santa thought. Corny and mushy but true. Of course many people would growl that they’d rather have a new Porsche or a majestic mansion than the silly emotion of love.

Well, thought Santa, try having either one of those things without any love around you. Let’s see how much you love your things if there’s no one to share them with. So many misguided ideas out there!

These harmful ideas that only
