Tom Petty Christmas Mission & Other Holiday Tales

Rescuing dogs, rescuing humans, the ocean, pot, booze, Ziggy, an English teacher, beach bonfires, rain, the reincarnation of Ebenezer Scrooge, hippies, surfers, O. Henry twists. The Tom Petty Christmas Mission & Other Holiday Tales by Matt Love is quite unlike any collection of Christmas stories ever published. In these four tales, Love introduces you to a fashionable Portland couple who try to channel the spirit of Tom Petty on Christmas Eve to save their vapid souls; a young boy who rescues an abused dog for Christmas; a teenage boy from Nebraska who receives the ultimate gift when he sees the ocean for the first time; and a wealthy developer from Los Angeles who comes to Oregon and runs afoul of its unique legacy of publicly-owned beaches.
