"I have mixed feelings about this one. The premise is great: What if you and your spouse were offered the chance to become Santa Claus and Mrs Claus? (or same sex equivalent as this is a gay couple) I loved how imaginative the North Pole and elf population and Santa's Workshop were. But before this happened I found it hard to get through the first 50 pages or so because almost every character including the main couple were dislikeable. As well, both husbands had preferences and dislikes and life troubles but neither was sharing it with the other. So they had conflict. I found myself wanting to shout at the book USE YOUR WORDS! It felt like a lazy narrative device - an apparently close loving couple who don't share any information and so have conflict. It also made it hard to like them as a reader. Still I give a 4 because the magic of life in Santa's village was really engaging"
