Sadie, the Story Lady

There’s something especially delightful about a Christmas story that puts familiar characters in an unexpected place. “Reindeer Make Waves,” written by Linda Denning, does just that—by sending Santa’s reindeer on a sunny beach vacation far from the snow and ice of the North Pole.

Instead of sleigh bells and snowdrifts, the reindeer find themselves surrounded by sand, sunshine, and ocean waves. What could possibly go wrong?

🦌 Trading Snow for Sand

The reindeer wake up buzzing with excitement—it’s beach vacation day! Suitcases are packed, cheers fill the air, and the sleigh soon lands on a warm sandy shore. While the reindeer can’t wait to jump in, Santa watches with a mix of hope and concern. After all, beach life is very different from life at the North Pole.

🌊 Beach Fun… with a Few Bumps

The reindeer are eager to play, but their usual North Pole habits don’t quite work at the beach. Volleyball ends with popped beach balls, hot chocolate feels unbearable in the heat, and salty ocean water is definitely not what they expected. Even snow cones melt into sticky chaos! Each mishap adds humor while showing how unfamiliar places can feel frustrating at first.

🎅 Help from a Familiar Friend

Santa reminds the reindeer that everyone needs help sometimes. Just as they support him every Christmas Eve, he’s happy to guide them through their first beach vacation. Together, they build sand creations, play games, and laugh at the day’s earlier disasters.

🔴 A Sunburned Surprise Ending

When the vacation ends, the reindeer return home full of stories—and sporting shiny red noses that look just like Rudolph’s! It’s a humorous reminder that even fun adventures can come with lessons… and that sunscreen is always a good idea.

Wishing you a sunny, reindeer-approved storytime! 🦌 (If you missed Book #1 in this series—watch “No Reindeer This Year” here!)
