Santa Claus's Partner

'Santa Claus's Partner' is a Christmas-themed novel written by Thomas Nelson Page. Livingstone, our protagonist, is a complicated character who is hard to love, but still manages to have people who care for him around him. John Clark, his loyal clerk who receives yearly bonuses, is one of these people. However, it is only when Livingstone becomes so consumed by his work that he forgets it's Christmas Eve that we understand the extent of his need for redemption—and he finds it through a child, adding a heartwarming twist to the story.
