Cowboy Claus
Amelia C. Adams

Jeff Gardner doesn't mind giving his uncle a hand around the ranch, but when Abe asks him to take his place as Santa, Jeff doesn't know what to think. He's never considered himself Kris Kringle material, and apparently, neither does Kelli Moore, the girl he bullied in high school and who now manages the Santa booth at the new mall. He knows he's not the same guy he was back then, but has he changed enough to represent the spirit of Christmas?
