Everything you ever wanted to know about Santa, as told to the author of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballsby the big guy himself (and his mom). As you might imagine, the early life of Santa Claus was a liiiiiiiittle different from the childhood of your average kid. His first words were "ho ho ho!" By five he was wearing a fake beard and mustache, and could rarely be found without his favorite stuffed reindeer. It was clear from a very young age that he was destined for uniqueness.... Despite this, his parents went to great lengths to keep the normalcy in his life. They had him learn guitar (he was in a rock band!), and play baseball (he had quite an arm), and even do chores (okayhere he was like any other kid on earthhe hated chores). But there was no stopping Santa from being Santa, and one winter, he began to make his lists. He checked them twice, and delivered toys to children all over Cincinnati. Then, all over Ohio. Thenthe world. Compiled from his baby book, family photos, newspaper clippings, and report cards, Santa from Cincinnatiprovides a full spectrum view of the boy who grew to be the man who grew to be Santa.
