Julie Retsch is a proud native of Cleveland, Ohio, who relocated to Florida where she recently experienced her first Christmas without snow. She wrote The Pajama Elves ® to compliment the tradition of a pajama delivery on Christmas Eve that she started with her young family. The pseudonym Hayden Edwards was used as an affectionate sign of appreciation for her biggest inspiration and support, her son Hayden and husband and son both named Edward. The hope of the book is that it provides families with a Christmas tradition that they can tailor to fit their family and share for generations to come!
