For Santa, December 26th was a horrible, awful day.
It was THE WORST DAY OF THE YEAR. Santa gets the post-holiday blues … When the toys are all made, the presents handed out, the Christmas cookies eaten, and the stockings unhung from the chimney with care … Santa is miserable. His reindeer and elves can't lift his spirits, and even a vacation with Mrs. Claus doesn't do the trick. Will Santa ever feel like his old holly-jolly self again? This quirky, funny, and completely unique picture book by hot young hipster illustrator Tad Carpenter will appeal to kids and parents alike.

Sad Santa not just for kids.
I finally got the book this weekend for my wife. I love Tad's story behind it and can relate to it very much. All of Tad's work has a foundation built on thoughtful enthusiasm and is filled with contagious energy. This book is for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute story about those post Xmas blues

I do a Christmas book advent every year from the day after thanksgiving to Christmas Day and this is the book I make sure to read right before bed on Christmas Day. All the craziness and anticipation is over which leaves everyone feeling a little blue. This story reminds my kids that there is plenty to look forward to all year round and that next Christmas is only 364 days away! :)

I bought this book for my 5 year old nephew for Christmas and he loved it...as did I! Wonderful illustrations combined with a really cute, different Santa story make for a win/win. I highly recommend that anyone with little ones in their life buy this book for them. You won't regret it!

I did not enjoy reading about a depressed Santa. I was waiting for a good message at the end, but there was nothing. Very disappointed:(
