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.

Giving cheer to those who forgot the magic
Great fun book. Mick you reminded me that the trick is to spread magic to find the magic. As said in the book if it only reaches one, that's enough. This book has done a lot for me this Christmas. Thank you and merry Christmas.

A beautiful Christmas book for fans and non-fans.
Mick's heartfelt look into the world of the Santa Ambassador is both moving and joyful.

A Mick Foley Miracle
One of the quirkiest books you could read about a wrestler. Foley has managed to weave his wrestling life with his adoration of Christmas to form this brief but brilliant book. Saint Mick defines Foley's peculiar but mesmerising personality and this book is one to relax with, a story of Christmas as told by the Hardcore Legend-sounds insane but it totally works.

Santa Claus does exist
Amazing book. As someone who loves Christmas and hates the summer I’m glad I found this book now in July. Mick always comes across as a really down to earth and friendly person and hearing his passion for Christmas is heart warming. Santa Claus certainly does exist even if it’s through the spirit of Mick and other associates.
I would buy his other books if they were available on audible.
