Xanta Claus | Book Review

Xanta Claus is a hilariously funny, fresh story guaranteed to brighten your holiday season. David Kringle realizes his destiny is to start his own fairy tale, Xanta Claus, which starts where his brother’s ends. The new fairy tale is an extension of the family business, but is different in every way! David is a slender, handsome man with a quick wit and a certain charisma with the ladies. He is hopeful he will find the one, even after searching for over a thousand years! He believes it can still happen since his brother found Claire and he is as big as a house!

David had found a niche in life as an author writing about the family business with titles such as “Elves Gone Wild”, “One Reindeer You Don’t Want to Pet”, “What Happens at the North Pole Stays at the North Pole” and others. Despite these less than flattering views of the North Pole, Kris and Claire supported David in all his endeavors – that doesn’t mean there isn’t restitution! The Council of Fairy Tales approves the Xanta Claus charter for a one year provisional trial. Immediately the race is on to prove the new South Pole based fairy tale can make a difference in the world. The success of Xanta Claus relies on the edgy elves appointed by the Elf Union, a rookie reindeer team and their strict trainer, an inexperienced head elf, a cantankerous plant foreman and the rest of a colorful, hilarious cast of characters. Their journey is sure to become part of your holiday season for years to come.

Don Keeler was born and raised in rural Missouri where his family still resides today. Christmas for the Keeler’s has always been a special, and interesting, time of year. These experiences were the inspiration for the creation of Xanta Claus.

This book is perfect for this time of year! I read it from front to back in less than 5 days as I was hooked on the journey that everyone takes through this fun, loving story. I laughed out loud on a few parts and really enjoyed it. I found myself reading sections aloud to my husband and he liked it too. And what’s more was that because I was reading this enjoyable book I was able to spend some time laughing with my husband something that always brightens my mood and at this time gets me in the holiday spirit. I loved this witty book and recommend it for everyone reading lists this Christmas.
