Greetings, Leslie!

I'm on a quest for holiday reads, to participate in "12 Days Of Christmas 2024" Open in new Window., and I thought yours might be amusing.

I've seen this title bopping around for a while now, but wasn't sure if it would be something subversive which I would find untasteful. Reading it now, I see I didn't have to worry. You've brought Santa and Jesus together in a way which is accurate and respectful, thoughtful and amusing. We chuckle at the characterization of Kris Kringle for what he is: a rather goofy fiction boiled down from countless Indo-European pre-Christian winter fables. And we smile at Christ's offer of redemption for this imaginary and as-yet unrepentant figure. (I've seen paintings placing Santa at the manger or reading a Bible... One can only hope he "got saved" *Laugh*)

The dialogue is clever and well arranged, with colored fonts helping us distinguish the speakers and rollicking humor keeping us engaged. (I just realized the "words of Jesus in red" is perfect because that's how the Bibles do it *Delight*)

Overall, this is a delightful piece which highlights the importance of remembering the true meaning of the season.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
