    Christmas Santa BookEach Christmas season children see a beardless, or fake bearded Santa Claus in malls and on television shows leaving them confused and skeptical. Upon reading The Christmas Santa Had No Beard, children and parents alike will finally discover just how Santa can lose his beard. They will meet the disgruntled Baldy, the North Pole barber, who has asked for hair since childhood without having any success. Readers will accompany this beardless Santa on this epic Christmas journey as he encounters one problem after another.

    Find out how this beardless Santa Claus resolves this dilemma and convinces children that he is indeed the real legendary St. Nick. Author Howard M. “Gramps” Bricker would not leave Santa Claus, or his youthful readers in despair. There is a happy ending when Santa Claus makes a surprising discovery and can joyfully exclaim, “Isn’t it wonderful, I am going to have a beard for Christmas!”

      I was interest in the book,The Christmas Santa Had No Beard,by Howard M. Bricker. I went into his Facebook page Grandpa Bricker Books. They mentioned
      Children’s Book Review and I read the interview by Bianca Schulze. Because of her informative interview with the author, I will be purchasing The Christmas Santa Had No Beard as Christmas gifts for children. Great interview!
