Santa's Buttons


Book Description

Come sit by Patty Cakes in her rocking chair and let the innocence of youth weave heartwarming tales you won't soon forget. Searching for the warm fuzzy feeling of Christmas, she will lead you through a lifetime of peeking behind hidden doors, reaching deep inside her grandfather's coat pockets, and surprise you with what she finds buried deep in a green glass bottle. Stories arrive wrapped in Christmas paper, slipped inside a brown paper sack taped shut on the end, sometimes coated in shiny glitter, and once, hiding atop a tin-lid frame holding a picture of Jesus.
