I bought this to read last year or two years ago maybe...before there was a Netflix adaptation. I still haven't watched, but now that I've finished reading, I think I will. 
A boy born on Christmas Day, a poor family, but with a love for giving, rather than receiving. Of course he would find magic and become Father Christmas!
For me this was the whimsical Christmas magic I was looking for. It's silly and fantastical, with bits of depth and sadness to balance. It has levity and is fun throughout. Blitzen peeing on people from the air was a fun touch. 
Personally 4/5* for me.
