    My childhod Christmases of the 1940's and 50's, when toys were made with hands and hearts, was my inspirarion for "How the Grandpas and Grandmas Saved Christmas". As a father of six and grandfather of 12, I have enjoyed reading "Twas The Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve for over 50 years. I hope both children and adults will enjoy reading my story and make it part of their holiday tradition. "How the Grandpas and Grandmas Saved Christmas" is dedicated to those who believe in the spirit of giving and the magic of Christmas.

      Santa runs a pretty tight ship in his toy factory. Every elf has a job to do and needs to work hard to get every single toy made by Christmas Eve. Santa believes that the toys are to be made with hands and hearts and not computers. Each toy is made with love for that special boy or girl.On an unexpectedly sunny day, the elves take a break to play snowball which leads to disastrous repercussions for Santa's toy factory. When Santa and his lead elf try to finish the toys, Santa realizes it just isn't going to be possible. Then a bright idea leads him to call in the grandparents all over the world. Maybe they can all work together to save Christmas.This is a really great story for Christmas and has a wonderful message about the importance of helping others as well as one about following the rules! Mrs. Claus and an elf warn the others about slacking off on the job. When the elves end up in a difficult situation, they realize that their choices can have consequences.Even though this story has a younger message, it isn't one your younger child will be able to read to themselves. One page is full of text while the next page has the illustration. It would make for a great bedtime story that is read by a parent. The illustrations are bright and show the range of emotions in the characters. There are numerous details in each illustration that the child will enjoy pointing out.This book would make a great addition to your Christmas library. It's lesson is a good reminder for all of us.

      Santa’s elves catch a cold a week before Christmas and can’t work on the toys! Joe, an elder elf, was listening to Santa talk about his grandfather when he came up with the perfect solution – Grandparents.How the Grandmas and Grandpas Saved Christmas is an absolutely delightful Christmas tale. The story is beautifully written and illustrated. The story emphasizes love, friendship, family and does it brilliantly. It is a perfect book to read on Christmas Eve, or to break up into sections to read each day leading up to Christmas.It also has very nice full-page illustrations. Some of them are very detailed, and younger children would have fun picking out toys and tools in the pictures. I highly recommend this thoughtfully written book. Reading this book with your children or grandchildren could be a fun yearly tradition.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
