With the holiday season around the corner, families look for special ways to share time together. Santa Believes by Melissa Beckley is just the perfect gift for making some new traditions amidst all the joys, love, and faith Christmas brings. Combining the magic of Santa Claus with the profound story of Jesus’ birth, this enchanting tale promises to be a cherished addition to every family’s holiday collection.
Santa Believes invites readers into Santa’s vibrant workshop at the North Pole, where elves prepare toys with boundless cheer. Amidst all this commotion, Santa collects his helpers to meditate on what the essence of Christmas is all about. This year, by sharing the traditional Nativity story again, he tells his elves—and many readers—what Christmas truly means.
Melissa Beckley is inspired to write the book because she wants to link the creative traditions of Santa with the spiritual import of Jesus’ birth. “I have always loved the magic of Christmas and the faith that supports it,” she shares. “Santa Believes is my way of blending those elements to help families celebrate the season with both wonder and purpose.” It’s a wonderful book that any child between the ages of 0-12 will enjoy, and just as loved by their parents and grandparents. Its truly enchanting story and stunningly conceived ideas of the North Pole capture all the magic of childhood, while its lessons of faith mark a wellspring for family talks about the real spirit of the season.
What makes Santa Believes stand out is its unique ability to bridge tradition and faith. It encourages families to celebrate the joy of giving, much like the Wise Men who brought gifts to Jesus. By sharing Santa’s perspective, the book helps children understand the importance of kindness and generosity in a way that’s relatable and inspiring.
Families can incorporate Santa Believes into their holiday traditions by reading it together on Christmas Eve or during quiet evenings leading up to the holiday. The story not only entertains but also fosters meaningful conversations about love, faith, and the joy of giving. Melissa Beckley’s debut book is more than just a holiday read; it’s a celebration of the values that make Christmas truly special. As you gather with loved ones this season, let Santa Believes become a part of your family’s cherished traditions, bringing joy and inspiration to readers of all ages.
