Thereโs something extra fun about a Christmas story that flips a familiar tradition upside down. “No Reindeer This Year! Santaโs Christmas Crisis,” written by Linda Denning, does just that with a surprising holiday twist: what if Santaโs reindeer decided they needed a vacation?
Just before Christmas, the reindeer have had enough of icy nights, heavy sleighs, and endless carrots. Led by Comet, they announce a bold planโto head to the beach instead!
๐ฆ A Reindeer Rebellionโฆ
As the reindeer prepare to trade snow for sunshine, Santa is left heartbroken. Without his reindeer, Christmas simply canโt happen the way it should. With gentle humor, emotional moments, and a few laughs along the way (including cookies shaped like tiny reindeer), the story guides readers toward an important realization: joy doesnโt always come from getting your own way.
