Description: "Christmas can look a whole lot different under sopping-wet, flannel-gray skies, with evergreen trees dotting the landscape year round! Welcome to the land of ferry horns, salmon, and the West Coast hipster. This humorous holiday picture book for grownups celebrates the special quirkiness that only the American Northwest can offer"--
Brief description: As a Northwesterner herself, Gina Marie Mammano knows all too well that Christmas looks a whole lot different under sopping-wet, flannel-grey skies. In Freeland, Washington, where she lives with her husband, the evergreen trees that are used as Christmas decorations dot the landscape all year round! Mammano's work as an author, poet, musician, and spiritual-retreat leader has deepened her appreciation of the natural wonders and coastal quirkiness of the Northwest. She enjoys spending her holidays with her three grown children--drinking hot coffee and wearing cozy flannel shirts.
