Several years ago - I wrote a Christmas story using my Grandson and other family members and friends/acquaintances as characters in the story. I've since learned that it has become a tradition in several families to read the story to their children/grandchildren. As a writer - that is the coolest thing ever...at least to me.I came close to not finishing Mountain Santa. In the middle of writing, my granddaughter Sophia was in a serious accident that almost took her from us. I couldn't bring myself to work on the story. Sophia's character in my story was fighting for her life as the real Sophia was being flown to the Children's Hospital in Denver with an all to real fight of her own. I didn't finish the story until our Pork Chop was fully recovered.
As each character in Mountain Santa is based on a real character in my life - I've often been asked the true identity of Nicolai Clausen. Yes - Nicolai was/is very much real. As for his true identity...well...one must first believe in the magic of Christmas to figure that one out.
The story originally existed on my old blog and I never thought to move it from Word Press to Blogger. I've recently been asked to please post the story to my newer blog. So...here it is again...Mountain Santa:
