Kids Say the Darndest Things to Santa Claus by Don Kennedy

When Don Kennedy's friend, a volunteer Santa Claus, fell ill the night before a Boys & Girls Club Christmas party, he asked Don to put on the red suit and beard in his place. What was originally meant to be a temporary gig turned into a passion, and Don began to volunteer for organizations that didn't have the funds to hire a Santa—children's hospitals, military bases, women's and children's shelters, schools, churches, and everything in between. After asking children what they want for Christmas for 25 years, he's heard just about everything, and here compiles the best of the best. Where Art Linkletter leaves off, Santa Don takes over.
