I set out to deliver the presents, and as usual, the children in every house left me:- a small glass of brandy, a mince pie and carrots for the reindeer. I went from house to house crying, “HO HO HO”, while delivering presents, and soon I was beginning to feel merry, I was having a wonderful time!
On my way back to the North Pole, the sleigh was gliding through the night sky when, all a sudden, an huge Jumbo Jet pulled along beside me. The co- pilot wound the window down and shouted, “Hey Santa, are you Ok? Our navigator has been tracking you on his radar, and he has told the Captain that your sleigh is having a bumpy ride! It’s going up and down and up and down, so the Captain said we had better check on Santa because, he’s the greatest guy on the planet, and we have got make sure he is ok.”“I am OK,” I shouted, “Merry Christmas Ho Ho Hic!”

His new book, “A Simple Christmas: Twelve Stories That Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit,” published by Sentinel, a member of Penguin Group, is about Christmas Day without a thought of Election Day.
That may surprise people who know the former Arkansas governor as the winner of the 2008 Republican precinct caucuses and host of a Fox News Channel’s “HUCKABEE.”
“This is a very different kind of book for me,” said Huckabee, who will be signing books from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Borders, 4000 E. 53rd St., Davenport; from 5 to 6 p.m. at Barnes & Noble, 333 Collins Rd. NE, Bldg. 1, Cedar Rapids; and from 8 to 9 p.m. at Borders, 4100 University Ave., Ste. 115, West Des Moines.
“There’s nothing political about it,” he said. Although the stories are about him and his family, Huckabee said the book “is not so much to tell my stories, but to cause people to think of their own.”
Mostly, “A Simple Christmas” is about the common desires to be home and with family at Christmas.
He hopes the book causes people “to stop and think that what really matters in all of our lives is the really simple things, the things that give us a sense of being.”
“A Simple Christmas” is not meant to be a memoir, Huckabee said. Instead. “if you read these stories you’ll see your own family in a lot of them in different ways.”

Another Christmas is upon us and another remake of Charles Dickens Christmas Carol. Well I’ve seen all the other versions I might as well go and see this one.
I love Christmas films, I love Miracle on 34th Street, I can’t make my mind up which version I prefer, but it certainly gets you into the Christmas Spirit.
However in my opinion the best Christmas film ever made is “It’s a Wonderful Life” and not even the master Spielberg would dare tamper with this legend.
When it was first written, no one wanted the script, the film took years to make and when it was released, it was a flop. Over the years the film never went away and today it is ranked Number One of all time Greatest Christmas Films.
I watched James Steward on a Chat Show and when asked, what was his greatest role he announced George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life. When asked why, he replied, George was just an ordinary man, but like us all, his presence touched so many people.
I’ve got to admit, when I watch this film I want to burst into tears, it’s so beautifully made and I can watch it time and time again.
I decided one day, to Google the Christmas Classics and I typed into the search box, “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Miracle on 34th Street” to find out more information. In the searches it came up “It’s a Wonderful Life on 34th Street”. What is this I thought, not even Spielberg would remake this classic. I went to the website www.santalivenow.com and there was the Script being hawked around on the internet. I then thought nothing has changed, sixty years ago the script for It’s a Wonderful Life was having the same problems.
I read the script and just like the classic it made me want to cry and it filled me full of the Christmas Spirit.
Briefly the Story was about a little girl writing to Santa not wanting a present but wanting Santa to bring her daddy home for Christmas. The end was fabulous, I am not going to tell you the end and spoil it for you, but if this film is ever made, there will not be a dry eye in the cinema.
Maybe if Spielberg does not have the nerve to remake It’s a Wonderful Life here is an opportunity for him to be remembered in the same way as Charles Dickens.
Go to Google type in “It’s a Wonderful Life on 34th Street” sit down by the Christmas tree with a hot cup of Coco and enjoy this new Christmas Classic.
After reading this Story, if you do not believe in Santa Claus you will! The story is humorous, it’s touching, it’s pure fantasy but for some reason the Characters are so believable. I thought of James Stewart when I was reading it, maybe because the main character, the little girl’s father was called Jim. Was the writer of this classic a fan of It’s a Wonderful Life, I think so and I’m pleased he was.- Merry Christmas
