How Mrs Claus Saved Christmas
December 6, 2007
In this delightful sequel to the bestselling holiday classic The Autobiography of Santa Claus, the first lady of Christmas herself tells the story of how she and a very brave group of people once saved a treasured holiday from being lost forever.
It’s 1620 and Mrs. Claus’s dear husband is off in the New World planting the seeds of what will become a glorious Christmas tradition. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus has chosen to stay in England, where the first signs of a dangerous threat to Yuletide cheer are in evidence. The Puritans have gained control of Parliament and appear determined to take all the fun out of Christmas. But Mrs. Claus knows that it’s time for serious action when, in 1647, a law is passed by Parliament that actually punishes anyone who celebrates Christmas.
Using as its springboard the actual events of a day in 1647 when ten thousand peasants marched through the streets of Canterbury demanding their right to celebrate a beloved holiday, How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas is rich in historical detail, adventure, and plain ol’ Christmas fun.
