A heartwarming true-life fable from the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Santaβincluding his 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 traditional red suit and become the world's most famous Santa Clausβa role he has played for twenty-seven straight years. But Hall wasnβt always such a jolly old soul. Believe it or not, this Santa was once a Scrooge. 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 wasnβt 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 realized Radio City was his lifeβs work, and that Santa wasnβt just a role. He lived in the hearts of the millions who attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and everyone who embraced the Christmas spirit. Santa Claus, in other words, was real. And 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.
