Many of us have had one bad holiday story they would like to share... this is one of them.

Living in Southern California, strong Santa Ana winds are the norm. Combining them with a holiday can almost guarantee something good (or bad) would come out of it.

In 2007, early Christmas morning, resilient Santa Ana winds took out power in several neighborhoods... the result being the creation of this book.

This is a Christmas story not meant to be read to children on Christmas Eve but one that adults may enjoy sharing over a glass of eggnog or two.
