My Christmas Wish List:

That children and parents alike will experience the true magic of Christmas through the spirit of Mr. Elf.

That children will discover that Christmas is more than receiving presents. It's discovering and sharing the wonder of imagination.

That parents will relish the time spent reading this story with their children, seeing little fingers pointing to pictures and bright eyes sparkling at the magic Mr. Elf represents.

That Mr. Elf's love for children will fill the hearts of all who make him a part of their family's Christmas traditions and celebrations.
