John and Santa

A charming story of Christmas magic from the author of John Passfield: Saturday Morning, nominated for the 2022 ReLit novel award

As writer John Passfield is driving home from a December book-discussion meeting and thinking about the Christmas topics that were discussed---in particular, Dickens, who wrote a novella which transformed the world's conception of Christmas---he suddenly finds himself sitting in a sleigh pulled by Rudolph and eight tiny reindeer. What an excellent opportunity to ask Santa about a seventy-year-old mystery---the mystery of the missing cowboy shirt!
