For your reading pleasure, some recommendations and reviews for "Confessions of a Secret Santa"...
"I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this book when I picked it up for review. But I was willing to take a chance on a new author and an unusual title. I grabbed it in the midst of an uber busy day. I was just going to skim a chapter or two. That’s really all I had time for. But one chapter turned into two turned into three and then…Before I knew it, I was swept away like the down of a thistle. On the final chapter and heading for home. I didn’t even mind missing lunch. Wound up reading it cover-to-cover in one sitting.
Finally, hot-off-the-press Christmas stories pop up this time of year like overnight mushrooms. Some are good. Some are terrible. Most are somewhere in between. 'Confessions of a Secret Santa' is definitely a cut above. An eclectic blend of old and new, the story unpacks a Caddy-sized load of adventure, mystery, history and intrigue. The writing style is lively and quick. The narrative is as fresh as the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow.
Festive, fun, and gently faith-flavored, 'Confessions of a Secret Santa' will make a delightful gift or stocking stuffer for anyone who relishes the magic of the season. Recommended for upper elementary ages and up."

"Confessions of a Secret Santa is a lovely, enjoyable tale. When Nate finds himself in trouble, help comes from an unlikely and unexpected source in the form of his new friend, Nick. After a night of danger and adventure, Nate finds himself with a happy and surprising ending. I enjoyed reading this story. I loved how the book is a mix of not only adventure and faith, but also the warm spirit of Christmas. It is an easy read, one you could read in one sitting or split up into a chapter or two a day during the Christmas season. It is a perfect Christmas read-aloud for your children, that is sure to keep them occupied and asking for 'just one more chapter'".
