Christmas is coming! Which means my home is in full holiday mode. The tree and lights are up, presents are wrapped, and I’m even baking some holiday goodies every few days. However for my son, this means he gets to pull out all his Christmas books! My little reader just loves books. He loves to just flip through the pages, pointing to pictures while “reading” to me. So I was pretty excited to learn about the family Christmas book, Santa’s Secret Deal!
Santa’s Secret Deal comes from the mind of Maryland’s own Joel D. Smith aka “Joel D.” On screen, he’s an Emmy Award winning news reporter for our local Baltimore’s Fox 45 news channel. He’s always had quite a love for telling stories and spinning tales. Santa’s Secret Deal actually comes from a funny tale he used to tell his younger brother when they were growing up. Now a father of two young children, Joel D. has turned that tale into a entertaining Christmas story that is sure to engage your child (and maybe teach them to pick up their toys!)
