REVIEW:
A cute, quick read about what happens when Santa has fulfilled his duties. As part of the “Santa” bargain and agreement, a Santa gets his one true wish fulfilled when his term comes to an end.
Unfortunately, the current Santa, Matthew Carpenter, has no idea what that is! He is about to have his 100-year term expire and he has no clue of what he wants…or does he? Father Time is meeting him right after his last delivery and he frets about what to say. His only desire is to love and be loved but how on earth could he wish that or for it to be fulfilled?
This sweet story follows Matthew as Father Time shows him that a bargain is a bargain and Father does know best. The ending was a delightful surprise in this cute little story. Guaranteed to put you in the Christmas spirit, I recommend that you give this a read.
