Heartfelt Letters from Santa
Helping Santa Create a Tradition for Your Family

The magic of Christmas for children is embodied in Santa Claus. This book shows you how to capture that magic by writing a personal letter from Santa for the child or children who are special to you.

Letters from Santa can describe situations your child has been in, recount good deeds he or she has done, make suggestions for improving behavior, and generally inspire your child in positive directions you see for them.

The finely crafted companion volume is where you will write this special letter each Christmas Eve, after your child has brought their book of Santa’s letters to its honored place near the Christmas tree. On Christmas morning, the whole family can gather around as your child discovers what Santa has written just for them.

As the years pass the book with these letters will grow more and more precious. It will be a chronicle of years past, and a guide for years to come.

It will:
•Transport both the child and the family back to the special moments in life,
•Recap major events in the child’s progression to adulthood, and,
•Remind children of how their biggest fans have stood with them and supported them, with loving, patience, and humor.

This guide for parents and adults will provide you with excellent ideas, key phrases, and topic areas to consider. It will clearly assist you in writing meaningful and heartfelt letters your child – and the whole family – will love.

Veronica Steck on the long-lasting tradition of
“Heartfelt Letters from Santa”

“These letters will become more precious as the years go by, mainly because of who wrote them for the child. As adults, the children will look back and see not only who they were but most certainly see the love the author of the letter had for them. This book will be a keepsake for every child to share with their own children.”

Talebearers Podcast: Interview with Rich Adams, author of Eben Kruge: How “A Christmas Carol” Came to be Written

We will be giving away a copy of Eben Kruge: How “A Christmas Carol” Came to be Written. Stay tuned for more info!

Eben Kruge, recipient of a ForeWord Clarion five-star book review, is a story wholly unlike A Christmas Carol, yet, like the Carol, a story of transformation. It is about Charles Dickens, the man, and the circumstances of his life at age thirty, and what inspired him to write his Christmas classic that for one hundred and seventy years at Christmas time has drawn people to their better nature and universally engendered a sense of concern and charity for the poor and downtrodden. The story setting is factual and will come as a surprise to most readers, as will the reality that A Christmas Carol was Dickens’s first completed fictional work after the events portrayed in Eben Kruge.

The author, Rich Adams, is a forensic engineering consultant, a Vietnam veteran, a former Army aviator, and a former ski instructor for Vail Resorts. He is also the first of three brothers to graduate from West Point. His first book, the award-winning historical novel, The Parting: A Story of West Point on the Eve of the Civil War, is the true and epic story of the West Point Class of 1861 during its final year at the Academy. Rich enjoys speaking to civic groups, schools and universities, church groups, book clubs, libraries, Academy alumni groups, museum-sponsored groups, special interest groups, and, most recently, a cruise ship audience. He and his wife live in Miramar Beach (Sandestin), Florida, after having raised their family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he founded and later sold a regionally based environmental consulting company.
