Publisher's Synopsis
'Twas the month before Christmas, and mall Santa, Raymond Mays, former derelict, prepares to play the role he's dreamed of all year. It's a chance to atone, in part, for the many mistakes that characterize his life. When his estranged daughter contacts him, begging for his help, he must decide if the "feeling" of atonement is worth more than the real thing.
His daughter's request seems trivial--locate her young son's missing pet--but it's his first chance to prove he's a changed man. It is worth the risk? The decision he makes not only changes his life, but that of his family, and quite possibly the rest of the world. If the mention of Santa Claus has you thinking about stockings, reindeer, and elves, beware: all that's been changed! But now you can find out how and why the entire enterprise has undergone a massive upgrade. It had to, just to keep up with population growth and the worldwide observance of the holiday season. Don't be the last to find out what's been going on at the North Pole!
