I have decided to become a book reviewer and the very first one I will review will be Santa's Husband. That's right...Santa's Husband. Apparently, after all these many years he decided to jettison Mrs. Claus and come out of the closet. I'm wondering what his little elves think about this but I digress....
To quote the posted remarks about the tale..." Offering a fresh twist on Kris Kringle....A clever yet heartfelt book that tells the story of a black Santa, his white husband and their life in the North Pole."
Now after all these years Santa Claus has been black. Who knew. I can remember visiting Santa in the local department store and sitting on his lap and asking for palamino horse. Every time. Never got one. AND Santa, at least to my eyes was an old bearded white guy who consistently HO HO HO'd.
Anyway in the book Mr. and Mr. Claus spend all their time, except at Christmas, sitting together by the fire in their cozy North Pole home. I assume the elves would be busy in the workshop making toys while the jolly pair toasted each other with pina coladas. Apparently these two vacation together at some unknown beach, also having occasional arguments, probably about Mr. Claus spending too much time with Rudolph....Not sure WHICH MR. Claus....and going to a couples therapist to discuss this.
Also, at Christmas time Santa's husband...I assume the white one since Santa is a black dude....helps with all the pre- Christmas work such as double checking lists....Apparently these two missed my request for a horse....AND he feeds the reindeer with organic gluten free grains.
The book also points out that Santa's husband also negotiates labour disputes with the elves AND fills in at the many malls. The husband seems to be the working Santa while his husband spends all his time with Rudolph...I'm thinking there's a problem in this marriage....
So, if you folks want a strange read, this is the book to get. As for me I will give it a pass and read something that makes sense, like The Adventures of Pinocchio which makes more sense.
Wonder when some twit will try to change Pinocchio into a gay cowboy......
