Publisher's Summary
From beloved number one New York Times best-selling author and WWE Hall-of-Famer Mick Foley comes a Yuletide tale like no other.
After a lifetime of putting his body on the line to entertain his dozens (and dozens!) of fans, the Hardcore Legend is paying the price - physically and emotionally. When the final bell on Mick's career tolls, not in the ring, but in a neurologist's office, his future seems far from merry and bright. Until Mick is given the chance to become Santa Claus - not dress up, not pretend, but become Santa - allowing him to rediscover the joy of performing.
Fully committing to his new mission, Mick details the drastic measures he takes to keep the Christmas magic alive for his young children, as well as the many children he meets in his travels who are in need of some Christmas Spirit. In order to fully embrace his new red-suited responsibilities, Mick enters the fascinating world of the Santa subculture, where he hones his Christmas craft while worrying he'll be excommunicated from the Santa world for, among other things, his Santa character being run over by a motor vehicle on Christmas Eve on WWE television.
But with the help of an unlikely elf - eight-time Grammy Award winner Norah Jones - Mick learns valuable lessons about the real power and responsibility of wearing the red suit.

Probably the best Foley book I've read... heard.
Mick Foley's stories of Christmases past are delightful, fascinating insights into the mind and soul of the Hardcore Legend. Ranging from hilarious to you're-fighting-back-tears-on-a-crowded-subway-at-rush-hour heartwarming, Foley's love (I won't quite call it obsession) for Christmas and the big man in the red suit are impossible to dislike once you listen to this.
The only drawback to this title was the quality of the audio itself, it wasn't the clearest or sharpest I've heard in previous titles, but that could be chalked up to the aged headphones I use on my more ancient phone. It doesn't detract from the story quality one bit, though.
