About The Book
There is a story about Christmas that was not shared very often. It was kept a secret for many years. Those that knew of it were specially chosen by Santa.
Over time Santa told the story more often, until it became one of his favorite memories. It is a story of the magic of Christmas and the creation of the “Christmas Key.
The story dates back centuries and it all started one Christmas Eve. Santa was busy delivering gifts to all the children in the world, when he suddenly realized there were numerous homes with locks and bolts on their doors. Some homes had chimneys, but many did not. This challenged Santa’s magical powers to enter the homes. Santa grew very tired as he continued into the evening. It was a dilemma for him. What should he do? Time was already so short on Christmas Eve to deliver all the gifts, so it was becoming necessary to find a way to make it easier.
Sara and the Christmas Key
Christmas has always held a special kind of magic for Sara.
Growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the “Christmas City,” Sara treasured the holiday traditions she shared with her family, especially the memories she made with her beloved father. But there was one tradition unlike any other.
Sara’s father was a Key Keeper.
Chosen by Santa, he was entrusted with a magical Christmas Key that helped Santa enter homes without chimneys. Every year, the family carefully placed the Key by the fireplace, ready for its mysterious Christmas Eve journey.
SANTA’S KEY KEEPERS
Have you ever wondered how Santa visits homes without chimneys?
In Santa’s Key Keepers, the magic of Christmas begins at the North Pole, where Santa faces a growing problem: more and more homes no longer have chimneys. With Christmas Eve becoming harder each year, Santa turns to his trusted elves for help.
Together, Executive Elf Jas, Elf Del, Elf AJ, Elf Dianne, Mrs. Claus, and the rest of the North Pole team create something truly special — a magical Christmas Key. Made with love, kindness, angel dust, and the joyful spirit found in children’s letters to Santa, the key helps Santa deliver gifts to homes everywhere.
But Santa soon realises the key’s magic is too wonderful to keep only for himself. He dreams of sharing it with kind, loving people around the world — special people chosen to protect the keys throughout the year and help keep the spirit of Christmas alive.
