When Santa Goes on Vacation gives us an idea of what Kris Kringle’s life is outside of the hustle and bustle of Christmas. Read this book, the first in the Santa Series, which reveals some of Santa’s adventures! About the Author Debbie is originally from a small town in Kentucky but has lived in Pennsylvania for the last 34 years. She is a Registered nurse and is married, with three grown daughters and six grandchildren. She realizes that children are blessed with the magic of imagination and encouraging that imagination is one of the activities that she loves to do with her grandchildren. Children are naturally curious, and a creative curiosity is the first step in learning how to think about the world around us. A curious mind that is challenged and fostered will help children to grow and develop to their fullest potential. Most importantly, having fun while learning is a crucial element in developing healthy minds. Debbie looks forward to writing and publishing more books about Santa’s everyday life.
