This story has two sources of inspiration. The first was an article I read about a real town called “North Pole” (although not in Wyoming) and how it gets bombarded with letters to Santa Claus every year. The other was a song. Music is a powerful thing, and Christmas music especially so, and I’ve always loved MercyMe’s beautiful song “Joseph’s Lullaby.” That was in my head when I wrote this story. I am particularly proud of this one.
