This is an excellent comedy book of which I thoroughly enjoyed. Mick Foley (the Author) is one of the most skilled writers (and wrestlers) in recent memory. If you like honest, kind, self-less decent men, then you'll like Foley. Buy his autobiography called "HAVE A NICE DAY" also available at amazon and you'll own one of the best autobiographies to date.

How did it take me 20 years to get around to reading this?!

As a WWE fan and having read one of Mr. Foley's novels, I wanted to check out this children's book. It was cute, and the ilustrations were great!

[Koriander Bullard · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a cute and funny book, that properly describes Christmas in the late 1990's. It has a really strong moral too and belongs in every household at Christmastime!

[Kevin Craig · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun book for wrestling fans, but awfully wordy to hold children's attention.

[Rebecca Cairo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was given this book as a child and it has just been in my closet for as long as I can remember and I have no memory of ever hearing the story ever. It’s SUPER reference heavy and it’s just uses too much gross out humor for me to keep it but I think I’ll turn it into other art— the illustrations are really great and it was funny and well written at points.

Silly book, which is exactly what Mick Foley was going for. Wonderful illustrations by Jerry Lawler.

It was very cute and very funny, I am very glad my dad recommended it to me

[Alejandro Heracles al-Mu'minin · Rating 1 out of 5]

This holiday piece feels like a total bit of shovelware. Considering the date of the publication, lack of content and quality it appears clear to me this was simply churned out to make a quick buck off their popularity in wrestling.

The story is nothing special, or well presented but acts as an excuse to sprinkle in a handful of WWF references. The best part is that the entire book is in AABB rhyming format... that is the best part.

Another great book by Mick. This book also shows how awesome and talented The King Jerry Lawler is with drawing. This book is still a favorite among my kids.

No secrets, it is what one thinks by the cover. Mick Foley writes a book in which wwe superstars save Christmas with illustrations.
