Why do we have decorations on a Christmas tree?
Is the reason the decoration? Many trees combine ornaments given as keepsakes from family members or memorable events.
Would you be surprised to find out that there is a purpose for decorations, probably one that has been kept a secret from you?
On Christmas Eve, while most people are sleeping and dreaming, each ornament goes to work diligently. It is the responsibility of the ornaments to fix the lights on the tree, tighten the screws at the base of the tree, and even protect cookies and milk from pets. This annual event requires each decoration to be “off the hook”.
The star at the top of your tree is different and is not an ornament.
All the decorations work together to activate the star, which is a location transmitter that lights up each rooftop so only Santa can see them.
This year the Thompson family has a problem. They just don’t know it exists.
During their annual Christmas Eve party, the family cat somehow outmaneuvered the star and landed in an empty gift bag that Aunt Connie brought home.
Once she discovers the star, she thinks it’s a gift to decorate one of her many trees.
What will happen to the Thompson children when Santa misses home? Without a location transmitter, how will your home be found?
How can you save your Christmas?
How can family decorations save Christmas for children?
Off the Hook is a wonderfully creative story with illustrations that perfectly match the text in a logical and well-organized original Christmas story for children of all ages. Numerous themes surround this short book, such as cooperation, friendship, prejudice, stereotypes, diligence, and doing not the easiest thing, but the right thing.
Surprisingly, each ornament is a standalone character with an individual personality that humanizes each one and even reveals a bit of each person’s hidden prejudices and biases.
The colorful illustrations perfectly match the text captivating readers ages 2 to 102, with a focus on individual motifs and children.
When he’s not a US Army veteran, IT professional, husband, and father of three, he enjoys hockey and uses his imagination to create a beautifully original story.
This charming Christmas novel is available in electronic or paperback format.
Off the Hook is a wonderful Christmas story that will stand the test of time and become a new traditional family story to share with generations.
