This charming short story from Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum is an entertaining addition to your holiday reading list. Santa's magical lair in the Laughing Valley is wonderful in every sense — well, except for the family of jealous demons who happen to live next door. Their enmity boils over on Christmas Eve, and they hatch a plan to abduct St. Nick. Will he escape in time to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls around the world?
