Ginger the Halloween witch has a big Christmas wish--a visit from Santa Claus. But Santa doesn't believe in witches--until Ginger's letter to him magically appears on his desk!

This book is a perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for kids. Ginger spends a lot of her time creating spells, and flying through the night on her broom. But she is different from the other witches -- because she also ADORES Christmas! Even with Ginger's good deeds and endless Christmas cheer, she's never received a single visit from Santa. What's a Christmas-loving Halloween witch supposed to do?

In this twist on the Christmas holiday's traditional believe concept, Ginger's wish of a Merry Witchmas comes true thanks to some holiday magic and good cheer.

Review quotes

Ginger is a typical witch, except that in addition to Halloween, Ginger adores Christmas. Both text and pictures are a clever, dizzying mashup of Halloween and Christmas motifs, like jack-o'-lanterns topped with Santa hats and a flying broom with a red bow. The colorful cartoon-style illustrations depict Ginger and Santa as White, with some diversity among the extra characters. Fans of both holidays will find this unusual mix fun and engaging. —Kirkus Reviews
