A heartwarming and inspirational fable from the Radio City Christmas
Spectacular Santa based on his own personal journey of discovering the
magic of Christmas.
Every year, over a million people attend the Radio City Christmas
Spectacular, where they have the pleasure of seeing Charles Edward Hall
don a red suit and become the world's most famous Santa Claus--a role he
has played for over thirty-five years.
But Hall wasn't always such a jolly old soul. Believe it or not, this
Santa was once a Scrooge--literally. For the first time, Charles tells
the inspiring story of his own transformation, from a wide-eyed child
who once caught a glimpse of Santa through a frosty windowpane, to a
young man who lost his faith in jolly old Saint Nick.
It wasn't until fate intervened, in the form of an unexpected role, a
stage malfunction, and hundreds of letters from children, that Charles
rediscovered his Christmas spirit. Ultimately, he discovered two
life-changing lessons: this was his life's work, and that Santa is real.
When Charles needed him most, Santa was there, with kind words and a
special gift.
As this delightful true-life fable proves, he is there for everyone. All
it takes is a good heart, an honest joy, and a belief in the magic of
Christmas.
