Batman had Gotham. Harry Potter had his cupboard. Santa Claus? Well... his story has never been told. At least, not the real story. Forget the sanitized \"jolly old man with a beard\" narrative. The truth is far stranger, funnier, and more awkward than you could ever imagine. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the story of Santa and Mrs. Claus-before the cookies, before the North Pole, before the reindeer learned to fly. Back when they were just two fresh-faced 18-year-olds, straight out of high school, stumbling into love, destiny, and sleigh-related chaos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere you will find the greatest Christmas story never told: a comedy of bad haircuts, elf politics, questionable fashion choices, and magical coming-of-age missteps. From their awkward first meeting at a candy cane car wash fundraiser, to the horrors of \"Santa School,\" to the absurdity of being elected by elves and reindeer to serve as the ultimate holiday power couple-this is where it all began. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrab some cocoa, loosen your candy cane belt, and prepare for the greatest Christmas comedy of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tj Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798266702394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.17d","brand":"Tj Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49170370527487,"sku":"9798266702394","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pre-clause-tj-allen-9798266702394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
