Join author Gregory Hoffman in this hilarious recounting of a chance encounter with Santa Claus at his place up north during a blinding snowstorm. Santa, having just returned home from his annual trip, is wiped-out and reeling. He seizes the opportunity to share his frustrations with his accidental visitor. While delivering presents to homes around the world, Santa is confronted by angry watch-dogs, shot at, beaten by non-believers, and pursued by a portly widow, among the many other stressful challenges! After waiting out the storm, and lending an ear to Santa's venting, Hoffman must be on his way. But upon his departure, Santa gives him a message to relay to people everywhere. Illustrated by Hoffman and written in the tradition of the classic The Night Before Christmas, Santa Needs a Vacation is an entertaining, colorful and heartfelt Christmas card to the holiday. Also included is a poem by Hoffman. Told from a grandfather's perspective, Christmas Memories is a warm and nostalgic look at the holidays past, with hope and best wishes for those of the future. Gregory Hoffman was raised on a farm in Maryland and currently resides in the mountains of West Virginia. The inspiration for Santa Needs a Vacation came from a funny Christmas song he wrote in 2004. He says, "It made me laugh."
