The Fourteen Days of Christmas
Autor Gordon S. Royen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2006
The author begins by telling us of his innocent beliefs in Christmas traditions as a young child and how with the passage of time, he became disillusioned with the whole concept. His children restored his acceptance of the event and together they celebrated Christmas in different parts of the world. He often wore a beard which over the years became white and he was able to convincingly play the part of Santa Claus. Unforgettable experiences were when he looked into the eyes of children and read there the sincere belief that there really was a Santa Claus and he was it. Eventually his concept of Christmas was passed on to his grand children and so it will go on forever.
Yes, there is a Santa Claus.

Notă biografică
Gordon Roy, his wife, Vivien and his children, Ann and Rob once lived sedately in the United States and Canada. They had been on a comfortable slide to oblivion until Gordon jokingly showed Vivien an advertisement for an electrical engineer in Afghanistan. "You want to go, don't you?" she asked. Next year, they were there. That's where the picture on the cover was taken. This was followed by assignments in other developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America where Gordon was involved in the construction of electrical power systems.
Vivien established 17 homes in eight countries and enrolled the children in nine different schools in six of these countries. They took Christmas with them wherever they went.
