Santa's Christmas Oops: The Holiday Santa Almost Forgot
By Portia Smith
Santa was tired. Like, really tired. So tired, in fact, he accidentally booked a beach vacation... on Christmas Eve.
Whoops.
While the elves scrambled and the sleigh sat untouched, Santa was sipping mango smoothies on a tropical island, rocking flip-flops instead of boots. But thanks to a clever island girl named Mia and her community of flamingos, parrots, and even a wise sea turtle named Lola, the magic of Christmas gets a sun-kissed twist.
This hilarious and heartwarming story blends island flavor with classic holiday spirit-proving that even when plans go sideways, the joy of giving and the power of community can save the day.
Perfect for ages 4-8, Santa's Christmas Oops is a fun holiday read-aloud that celebrates creativity, culture, and quick thinking-with a big dose of sunshine and steel drums.
