The Santa Society
Magic. Myth. Miracles.
They say there is truth in legends.
Last Christmas, Erin came home to be with her dying mother. It's been a year, and Erin can't move on. It's a good thing a behemoth dog named Klaus and Reason-the-handsome-realtor are about to change all that.
When Reason's efforts to help Erin sell her mother's house turn into a series of fiascos, Erin finds herself falling in love with him despite the quirky chaos that follows him. But Reason is more than he seems, and soon Erin is immersed in the clandestine world of the Santa Society, a centuries old secret organization that protects the truth behind Christmas.

I loved this book! I want more!
We are introduced to a sad, self-pitying, depressed young woman who happens to live in a town full of Christmas cheer. Having lost her mother, and blaming herself, she becomes a ghost or simulacrum living a shadowed existence. And that's just it, she isn't truly living. She wants to leave town when she runs into a mysterious gentleman and a very large dog on her way to get coffee. These two characters proceed to pick Erin up and upend EVERYTHING in her life.
This story combines humor, sadness, mystery, hope, love, and ultimately faith. You are taken through emotions, the author has a way with words that made me feel.
I know it's crazy, but this story is one that gives me hope in humanity, faith that miracles happen, and that hope/wish/prayer that makes me want to believe in the spirit of Christmas once again.

This is a book of fiction. But it is different. I liked the way the author treated the folklore of Christmas and the true Christmas story with respect. I even enjoyed reading it after Christmas. The book ties the two stories of Christmas together with a delightful twist. Instead of being sacrilege, I felt it was very well told and tied Santa to the Christian faith. Those without faith want to commercialize Santa. But the true beginnings of Santa Claus were grounded in doing good as the Christian faith professes. The romance thrown in was a delightful extra.

I just finished reading The Santa Society by Kristine McCord and absolutely loved it. I was so surprised by the "voice" of the book, the single, first-person perspective that made me feel I was right there in the pages of what was happening. What detailed and complex characters! A romance without fluttering eye-lashes, more real than life, and full of what truly matters. How can I highly recommend this book so that others will read it too?

The Santa Society takes place in a town called Christmasville where everyone has the Christmas spirit all year long. Erin has lived there all her life but lost her mother a year ago leaving her depressed so that she basically hasn't lived since then. She is very unhappy and doesn't know what to do with herself. Her plans are to sell the house and leave town but events start happening that change her mind. Erin finds a dog tied outside a shop and meets a man (Reason) she believes to be it's owner. These two turn out to be very important in Erin's life and help her make the changes she needs in order to start living again.
The Santa Society is a very secret group that have a Father Christmas who has The Gift. He arranges for families in need to get what ever it is they require without them knowing he did anything. Father Christmas has faith in the magic of this special day and spreads hope and love while providing the other things needed.
I loved this story about Christmas and Santa Claus. It was a completely different twist to this special time of year. It's such an interesting approach to Santa Claus and who he is that I was captivated by the tale. The author took a fairly complex story full of magic, mystery and a bit of romance and made it quite believable.
The characters were wonderful. Yes, Erin was not very happy at the beginning but she did come around and became a bright, courageous woman who I really liked. Reason was perfect - almost too perfect. He was intelligent and authoritative along with very organized. Oh, and handsome too. There were many secondary characters that added to the story. One of Erin's neighbours, Callie, was my favourite. She was only 6 years old but wise for her years and adorable.
Overall, this was quite a surprising story that left me believing in the magic of Christmas.

This was really a cute Christmas story. It is one that I can see myself reading over and over each Christmas. You can go to the book jacket and read a synopsis of this book, but let me add this. This was not one of those, "I'm miserable and desperate at Christmas so I find some guy to shack up with and call it love." There was a separate story line running through this book that made it a very enjoyable Christmas read. The love story was almost a side story. It was cute and fun and gave me just a perfect dose of Christmas spirit!
Not only that, there was also a theme of Christianity running through the book, but it was covert. It wasn't in your face Christianity. Jesus wants me to do this, and all I think about is Jesus... I'm a religious person but sometimes I get annoyed when a book pushes Jesus on the reader. Let Him be present through the actions and deeds of the characters-- not the words and showing off of the Bible all over the place. This book does that. Jesus is present, but it is natural and right. Just a great read!!!

I am a real sucker for Christmas stories be they on film or a book. I have so many films that my family have actually decreed I can ONLY watch them in December :(
I picked up this book when it was a free download on Amazon because it sounded intriguing and I loved it!
It had a really good feel-good factor about it and Kristine McCord actually had me wondering if her version of how Santa Claus came about in the first place could actually be true.
I loved the way that she entwined the tenets of the Christian belief about the birth of Christ and the belief in Santa and the magic of Christmas within the story along with a secret society that makes the Masons or the CIA about as secret as a scout troop.
In all a highly enjoyable story and one I will definitely be re-reading.

This magical Christmas fantasy story just got better and better with every page I turned. It is an engaging story that combines the myth of Santa Clause, with the legend of Father Christmas and the wonder of the birth of Jesus. The Santa Society is a group of descendants of the Three Wise Men who gifted Jesus at the first Christmas. Father Christmas is the head of the Society and he lives in the small town of Christmasville in the wildlands. He and his group keep very much to themselves. Father Christmas is touched with the magic of gifting. But Reason, the present Father Christmas, finds himself falling in love with Erin a woman in town. Erin is still in the woes of depression from losing her mother the previous Christmas. But a huge, lonely dog named Klaus, Reason who is Father Christmas, a host of descendants, some elves, and a lonely little girl all work together to bring Erin back to life and to find the true meaning of Christmas.
The author treats the true story of Christmas along with Christmas folklore each with respect. She showed that presents are a lovely and enjoyable part of Christmas just as there were gifts at the first Christmas, but also had Father Christmas make others aware of the real reason for the season. I fell in love with both the story and the characters, loved the touch of romance that was not the dominating feature, and could definitely see this as a magical Hallmark Christmas movie.
Recommended for everyone who loves the magic of Christmas but knows the real "Reason for the Season."
FAVORITE QUOTES: “It is my duty to carry the Gift to the world, whatever the price.”
"Christmas, the finale of life embodied in birth, celebration, and the joy of giving."
"I will never be able to get out of the past as long as I continued living in the museum that preserves it."
"The idea of children losing faith seems tragic, like a church without God, or a mirror with no reflection."

I did it. I read my first Santa book before Thanksgiving. Well, seeing as how I have been known to watch The Santa Claus in the summer if I am feeling particularly down, I suppose it isn’t that surprising. And I have to say, as a huge fan of the whole Santa thing, this was a great start to my Christmas Santa Book Season!
“It is my duty to carry the Gift to the world, whatever the price.”
Erin Sinclair lives in the lap of depression, even if she does live in a town called ‘Christmasville.’ She left her home at eighteen, as many teenagers do, a victim of teenage angst and the guilt of her father’s death when she was ten. It wasn’t her fault that he was driving to pick her up from school in a snowstorm when he died in a car crash. But children never understand that they aren’t to blame when horrific things happen, do they?
Now, her mother is gone as well, and Erin missed the last decade she could have spent with her, living in New York and working as a court stenographer while her mother stayed in Christmasville.
I turned 30 years old the day I killed my mother.
Alone, depressed, drenched in guilt for allowing her mother to die from breast cancer at home as she wished instead of forcing her into treatment, and feeling as if her life has faded away in front of her eyes, Erin is irritated when the cowboy propped up in front of the coffee shop early one morning walks away from her, apparently leaving his overgrown ‘maybe mastiff(?)’ tied to a tree in front of the shop. Klaus is huge, looks like a cross between a mastiff and a chocolate lab and watches her sadly from the coffee shop window. Well, she can’t just leave him out in the cold, right? Claiming the dog isn’t his, at least the cowboy leaves her his business card with the number for his real estate office. She is more than ready to get on with her life, whatever it will be, just as soon as she sells her mother’s house and all the memories it contains.
Cue high, tittering elven laughter… (screech! Sound of tires coming to a sudden halt…)
Make that cowboy laughter! Well, what do you expect when Santa lives in the mountains of Idaho?! (Insert big grin here)
The Santa Society is a wonderful Christmas story, full to the brim with hope, faith and love. But it is different than the ‘so sweet it makes your teeth rot on contact’ stories you may have read before. Similar to It’s A Wonderful Life there is human evil here – pride, vanity, hatred, and a Society developed to protect the meaning of Christmas – which may just be the downfall of everything Christmas stands for.
Erin’s mother’s last wish was that she not lose her faith in Christmas, in love, or in the reason for the season. And Reason McCloud may just help her find those things again.
He’s the Reason for the Season.
Reason, or Santa Claus to those in the know, stands for everything that is good, right and truthful in humanity. But will the corruption of those around him destroy Santa, Erin, and the true meaning of Christmas?
This book is a total and complete joy to read, filled with hope and joy, but also suspense and terror, making it more than just another Santa story – in a Very Good Way!

The Santa Society by Kristine McCord is a one of a kind novel. It is the story of Erin Sinclair a young woman whose mother died almost a year prior to the beginning of the book. Erin meets a man named a Reason MacCord just a couple of weeks before Christmas and her life begins to be filled with unusual events.
This is not the type of book I am typically drawn to and honestly I wouldn't have given it a second thought except for the fact that it's December and I decided to read a few Christmas themed books. I found the story extremely interesting. It has a sense of mystery, magic, and romance in all the right proportions. The author did a wonderful job of including details to support the extremely complex storyline. The characters are easy to relate to and there are a few delightful characters that give the book that extra bit of magic.
I loved the imaginative way Ms. McCord uses the Santa Society to explain the way Christmas works but doesn't take away from the true meaning of Christmas in the birth of Christ. This was a surprisingly good Christmas read! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of a mystery, romance or is looking for a good book to read in December. Great job!

Maybe I'm not in a lighthearted mood, maybe I'm coming down with something, maybe I just don't feel like reading a fairytale, or a story written for a 12 year old.... but I just did not like this book.
I gave it a 2-star rating because the author had writing abilities. But this is.... how can I say - stupid - without making it sound so harsh? Well, poo... I just can't.
I'm sure some people will think this is just so cute and put them in a holiday mood, but I'd rather read a book that is actually realistic to put me in a mood.
This book has a young girl (spoiler here...) falling in love with her real-estate guy, only to find out he's Father Christmas... the helpers (cowboys who hang out in a saloon) are the so-called elves, and her grandfather is actually an older Santa who married a non-Christmas society woman, and he ended up leaving his family because they chose not to become a part of it.
Okay... what did I say? Ugh... juvenile ...
Well, shoot, that descriptive is no nicer than stupid. Sorry.

I am SO not in to Christmas books, so when the title alone grabbed my interest, I assumed it was a one-off and I would find myself deleting quickly.
Nope. That so did not happen. I found this to be an engaging story that combines the myth of Santa Clause, with the legend of Father Christmas and the wonder of the birth of Jesus. Definitely not a come to Jesus book, Santa Society invites us to see THE GIFT that is within the most innocent. Purity. Faith. Hope. Love.
Erin lost her mother a year ago at Christmas. Now, she is floundering, trying to figure out where she belongs in life. A stranger, a cup of discount coffee, and a dog become the catalyst for the change she needs. It isn't all angels and mistletoe though. Some old beliefs are about to be challenged. Can Father Christmas and Erin survive what happens next?

Straight from Christmasville, Idaho comes this Christmas themed fantasy with all the trappings...Santa (named Reason), reindeer, elves (in the form of cowboys) and a North Pole (that appears to be a ranch with a saloon and underground tunnels). Also a special elf Klaus in the form of a magical dog. What's not to love about all this?
The story (death, romance, family, and changed hearts) is woven within this setting.
This is not my usual type of read ... and is actually the first fantasy I've ever read and was a little over the top of believably for me.

When I first started reading this book, I expected a sad story of the main character getting her heart broken by a handsome stranger. I didn't expect the tradition, the magic and the fantasy that the author so eloquently incorporated into this sweet love story. Though I came across a few errors, words missing even, it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book. When I finished, I wanted to return to my childhood and believe again...

I fell in love with this story and the characters. This was a fun read that kept me interested from first to the very last word. A MUST READ!! Don't hesitate to read this one!

This was an ADORABLE Christmas story!!! I loved that Santa encouraged others to remember that Christ is the reason for the season. Found it free on Amazon Kindle this last week.

Very good Christmas Story.

Started out really well. The middle was good. The latter part of the book read like this: blah,blah,blahblah and blah. Skimming does make me a fast reader.

I love reading something new ever year to help
Get me in to the Christmas spirit. This book was perfect for just that! A very cute quick read with a fun twist on an old Christmas story.

This is a different sort of novel from the regular popular Christmas fare. I actually could not decide if I liked it or didn't, throughout the entire reading of it. The plot twists and turns but not in a building-of-tension kind of good way. The main characters seem to often be contrived. This is not in a feel good Christmasy romance manner.
Sometimes it seems as though the author is attempting to portray some profound type of religious symbolism or thought, which falls flat in its delivery. Then fantasy takes over to fill in the gaps, but it is jumbled with the seeming attempt at profundity and the plot is jumbled and then forced.
Something could be done to help this story be better, but I dont know what that is. Perhaps it just has too much in it and some elements should be cut out.
This book did not resonate with me or appeal to me and I can't totally put my finger on the why of that.
The descriptions are adequately vivid and the main characters are likeable. The point of the plot is unclear. Is it love, beating depression, believing in God or Santa, figuring out a mystery, reconciling the past, Christmas tidings ( whatever that is)?
Perhaps I just don't get it and the book is really a good read.

If you believe in the magic of Christmas, this book is for you. The magic is throughout the story and comes in all shapes and sizes. From an oversize dog named Klaus to a six year old girl who is wise beyond her years. There is even a villain included.
What stopped this from being a five star rating is it seemed long and it took half the book to know where Christmasville was located and another quarter to know what state. Also, snow would appear in some scenes and the next one it was gone.
With that being said, I did find it hard to put down and enjoyed it.

Loved it
Thank goodness for a great story with no profanity or sex! I loved this book. A nice new perspective on Santa and how he ties in to the birth of Christ. Several of the characters have their flaws but over come them. Others lose faith and try to follow their worldly ideas. The Gift doesn't leave the one who has Faith! Note to author, you left out Blitzen! (Klaus is awesome)

Modern mixed with folklore
I really enjoyed this story. Modern mixed with folklore made it intriguing to see how it ended. Well done! Characters are fun and the bit of mystery about the SS was a nice touch.

Interesting take on Santa Claus
For the most part I really enjoyed this book. At times Erin's poor me attitude annoyed me, but Reason was a wonderful character as was Klaus the dog. A nice seasonal read.

I love this story! I read it every year. It's a clean, feel-good, fantasy romance with a bit of suspense, Christmas magic, a few laughs and a lot of sighs and smiles. You really can't go wrong with this one.
