I live with a Christmas Junkie wife, so this book hit close to home! I loved it - every twist and turn, every witty reference to current Christmas icons (without mentioning them by name - what a great technique!), the fast-paced writing... This is an author who deserves a lot of credit for taking a potentially "ho hum" topic that's been done to death (please - no more versions of Dickens! Alastair Sim and the Muppets cover the spectrum nicely) and turning it into a terrific book. I hope Petit continues to write with as much skill for many years to come!

I have just finished this podcast this afternoon, and I must say that I was thrilled to read it. It brought the Christmas spirit to me in the beginnings of July - and I'd gladly recommend it for any month of the year! Of all of the charectors, though, I think Lou was the most fun and interesting, and I surely wouldn't mind him being the spirit of a holiday I'm sour on! I can't wait for more from Blake M. Petit, as I'm sure I'll become a big fan of his in the future!

It's official. I've just decided this should become the next Christmas classic. Even though I read this story in April, it was completely engaging, very funny, and totally entertaining. As I listened, I tried to imagine what actors could/should play each role. Tim Allen and Tom Hanks naturaly came to mind. It would be quite tongue in cheek to have Tim Allen play Santa and refer to himself, yes? Personally, I think it would be hilarious. I highly recommend this for young and old alike. Of course, it is more appropos at Christmas, but it's a good story at any time of the year.
