About The Book
A Whitetail Christmas is a fun, engaging, sweet children’s story that tells the tale of one Christmas Eve when Santa finds himself stranded because his regular group of reindeer are ill, and therefore are unable to pull his sleigh. After a variety of other animals offer to help Santa, including skunks and snakes, Santa is thrilled to accept the help of a group of Texas Whitetail Deer. They successfully deliver all the presents, and Christmas is a success.
