Jingle Boy
By Kieran Scott

Paul Nicholas and his family get really into the Christmas season and their holiday traditions – Paul waking his parents at five on Christmas morning blasting John Denver and the Muppets – A Christmas Together and having the most elaborate Christmas light display in town is the family’s claim to fame. But this year Paul is certain Christmas is going to be the best ever. He will be starting his dream job as a mall Santa soon, knows he will be getting the Jeep of his dreams under the tree, and, for the first time in his life, has a girlfriend to celebrate with. That was before. Before loosing his personalized Santa hat (that he never leaves the house, or, more particularly, his room without from Thanksgiving to Christmas) at the mall, loosing his girlfriend to his Santa co-worker, his dad electrocuting himself while setting up this year’s lighting display and setting the house on fire; most of the damage occurring in Paul’s room, and his mother losing her job. Will Paul ever regain his Christmas spirit, or will it be permanently replace with the spirit of Scrooge? A truly “feel-good” Christmas read that puts the reader into the holiday spirit. Readers who love the holiday season, and all of its tidings, will enjoy this humorous book and place it on their shelves next to How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and A Christmas Carol to be enjoyed year after year.
