About the book: (Goodreads)

Dr. Christopher Ringle is the last person you'd expect to find moonlighting as Santa Claus at the mall on the day after Thanksgiving. But it is there that he meets a young man named Molar Alan, who desperately needs a new perspective on the underlying value of Christmas. Dr. Ringle recruits Mo and his older brother as volunteers at a nearby children's hospital for the holiday season. Almost in spite of himself, Mo finds that Christmas joy emanates from a source far greater than the North Pole . . .

 My thoughts:

The Paper Bag Christmas is one of those Christmas books that you will find yourself smiling, laughing, identifying with, and shedding tears over.  It is a rare story.  The author has a delightful voice that welcomes the reader in and makes one feel they are part of the story.  I won't write details of the story--just pick it up and read it and you won't be sorry, one of the best stories I've ever read.

One thing I will mention that I absolutely loved, at the beginning of each chapter the author had the most wonderful Christmas quotes.
