Christmas in July is happening this month. I wanted to share a new children’s book for your children. The book can be found in our Christmas In July 2025 Guide: Letters to Never Send Santa: Confessions, Complaints, and Outlandish Requests from the Files of St. Nick by David Griswold Illustrated by Luis San Vicente. I received a copy of the book for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
Charlie may be to big for Santa but I refuse to grow up and I still believe in SANTA just as David does. We couldn’t wait to sit down and read Letters to Never Send Santa: Confessions, Complaints, and Outlandish Requests from the Files of St. Nick. We must tell you we loved the cover of the book with the Reinder on the front cover of the book.
I also love the Postage Stamps on the cover of the book and Charlie wanted me to tell you to check out the Nutcracker and. I liked the Christmas Tree that says Greetings. In the book Santa remind us he is a “Jolly Ol Soul” but he is getting so many requests that he can’t fulfill and people critiquing how he has run the North Pole which is crazy.
Charlie, David and I laughed out loud at the letters Santa received and couldn’t believe what some people would ask for or what they had done. Please share Letters to Never Send Santa: Confessions, Complaints, and Outlandish Requests from the Files of St. Nick with everyone you know sending a letter to Santa and let’s help the Elves out and remind people to ask for practical not extravagant Gifts.
About;
You better watch out, you better not . . . What?! Laugh it up with the Big Man himself as he shares some of the funniest (and oddest) letters that children have mailed to the North Pole!
