Taking care of Santa and Mrs. Claus for over thirty-five years encouraged Mrs. Tuttle to highlight all the interesting goings-on at the North Pole and how needed Mrs. Claus is.
You know that Santa can fly a sleigh, squeeze down chimneys, and circle the globe in a night. But did you know that another of his talents is writing haiku? "December 1: White envelopes float / from my overfilled mailbox— / December's first storm." "December 24: Which is packed tighter / the sack full of toys or the / red suit full of me?" These twenty-five short poems—composed by Santa himself—give you a peek into life at the North Pole as the December days tick down to Christmas. See the hustle and bustle of the elves' workshop, feel the serenity of moonlight on fresh snow, and find out how Santa and Mrs. Claus keep busy as Santa's big night draws near.
Christmas Eve is a busy time in Santa's headquarters--for Mrs. Claus, too. She's baking treats for everyone in this merry, lift-the-flap picture book. Kids will have happy holiday fun helping her find missing items to make yummy biscuits, scrumptious gingerbread, and a tasty snack for Santa's trip around the world. At the end, a sweet surprise awaits Mrs. Claus! Each spread features four flaps with festive items to discover under each one.
Have you had it with all of those wholesome Christmas tales? Does the thought of yet another year watching Rudolph, the Baby New Year, and Scrooge make you want to yak? Doing Mrs. Claus and the other books in the Amorous Adventure of Santa Claus series may just change the way you look at Christmas. If nothing else it just might put the heat back into Sexmas. Mrs. Claus had an enormous appetite for everything sexual, and in the weeks leading up to Christmas that desire expanded completely out of proportion to her normal needs. You see the hustle and bustle of Christmas, with all its ins and outs, and travels here and there, turned Mrs. Santa on. It made her-well, it made her horny. Unfortunately, it had just the opposite effect on Santa. Christmas was his busy season. There were toys to make, lists to put together, and reindeer paths to plan. When he was done working, Santa just wanted to come home, drop his fat ass in the chair, eat supper, and fall asleep watching the latest broadcast of the North Pole News. Mrs. Claus's special needs weren't high up on his list of priorities-not at Christmas time, anyway. ............... Mrs. C had developed a habit of hanging around outside of Santa's workshop at shift change. She'd start up a conversation with a hot young Elf, and next thing you know, she'd innocently follow him into the showers-chatting the entire way. At first the Elves didn't think much about it. It was a little strange and out of character for her, but they figured it was just Mrs. C being friendly. As time passed, and the visits became more frequent she became more hands on. One day the Elves discovered Mrs. C in the showers-bare ass naked-scrubbing their backs, and helping them wash their more private parts.
When her eccentric Auntie Claus leaves for her annual business trip, Sophie Kringle stows away in her luggage, travels with her to the North Pole, and discovers that her aunt is really Santa's sister and helper. Beautiful illustrations add warmth to a delightful storyline.

Even after his older sister, Sophie, reveals that their great-aunt, Auntie Claus, is really Santa's sister, Chris needs to see for himself, in order to believe. In this companion to the much loved Auntie Claus, come along on a magical journey with Sophie Kringle's little brother, Chris, to a place you may have seen only in your dreams. And discover that anything is possible, when you have the key to Christmas!
“Exceptional…the perfect holiday entertainment.”— Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW This Christmas season, travel to the North Pole you’ve never seen before—where Santa’s new wife, April Claus, is not only set on creating the perfect holiday—she’s also set on solving the perfect crime… Love is full of surprises—though few compare to realizing that you’re marrying the real-life Santa. April Claus dearly loves her new husband, Nick, but adjusting to life in the North Pole is not all sugarplums and candy canes. Especially when a cantankerous elf named Giblet Hollyberry is killed—felled by a black widow spider in his stocking—shortly after publicly arguing with Nick. Christmastown is hardly a hotbed of crime, aside from mishaps caused by too much eggnog, but April disagrees with Constable Crinkle’s verdict of accidental death. As April sets out to find the culprit, it’ll mean putting the future of Christmas on the line—and hoping her own name isn’t on a lethal naughty list . . .
Jessica Fletcher meets Tim Burton in this creative and witty cozy mystery series filled with unconventional characters, a year-round Christmas setting, and a unique heroine who’s married to the real-life Santa Claus—and this time, there are two holidays in the mix. At Castle Kringle, the elves are excitedly arranging their first ever Thanksgiving day feast. April’s husband, Nick—the real Santa—has some misgivings, since it’s tough to get ready for Christmas when everyone is obsessed with helium balloons and pie recipes. Chaos erupts when Gobbles, the live turkey imported for the castle feast, is bird-napped. That crime is quickly overshadowed at a pre-Thanksgiving potluck when Nick’s cousin, Elspeth, face-plants into her mashed potatoes—dead. Someone poisoned Elspeth, and April believes Constable Crinkle is hauling the wrong suspect off to jail. An ominous message, written in what seems to be blood and urging April to stop investigating, only convinces her more. But who’s really to blame? Where is Gobbles the turkey? And can April solve a double helping of mystery in time for everyone to sit down to a non-deadly dinner together? Praise for Mrs. Claus and the Evil Elves “Funny, well-paced . . . Ireland’s bizarre series conceit works, a tribute to her deft juggling of sleuthing and satire. Fans of Leigh Perry’s Family Skeleton mysteries will be tickled.” —Publishers Weekly
