The Untold Story of Father Christmas

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to the story of Father Christmas, there are quite a few out there, with many reasons to believe in Father Christmas and many answers on how he is able to deliver so many toys to children all over the world, in just one night. The Untold Story of Father Christmas gives more of a background on Father Christmas himself, why he is called Father Christmas, and his motivations, as well as how he ended up with elves to help him in his creation of toys.

Father Christmas, in The Untold Story of Father Christmas, is actually just a toy maker who is very good at his job. He creates loads of toys to sell in villages, for all of the children who’s parents can afford them. He has a lovely wife called Mary who helps him create his toys, however, they both are saddened when they are unable to have a child of their own. This sadness is doubled during the winter months, when the children of their village who are unable to afford new toys are not gifted with any for Christmas.

Mary and Father Christmas decide to create toys and leave them on the front steps of every family that has a child inside, so that no child is without toys on Christmas. At first, the little village they live in is something that is very do-able, but as more and more children start asking for gifts from the mysterious Father Christmas, he ends up spending more time in the woods, attempting to cut down trees so that he can make enough toys. The Elves that live in the forest aren’t too happy about this, and start to give them tree branches that they do not need, so no important trees are taken from their home.

The Untold Story of Father Christmas

You see, Elves are only able to prosper if people, especially children, believe in wishes and magic, allowing the Northern Lights to fill with magic and the Elves to be able to soak it in. As children have been believing less, they feel these humans have started helping them, giving them wishes and hope. The Elves then decide to help Father Christmas and his wife so that he can get all of the toys done in time, by building them a toy makers area in Lapland and inviting him there.

The Untold Story of Father Christmas is one that feels very well written and thought out, with beautiful notes of hope, working together, and ensuring that the magic of Christmas is still there. The book itself is beautiful too. The silver trim feels magical, and the pictures within the book look like they’ve been passed down from generation to generation. It’s a lovely Christmas story to read with your little one, especially if they are curious about how Father Christmas came to be and how he found a bunch of Elves to help him!
