Marry Merry Mary Christmas?

Pete had never felt so alone in his entire life that is if you dont count the time when he was twelve and trapped a skunk under his parents bedroom. They werent pleased. One of them placed an ad in the paper: Boy for sale. Fifty Cents or best offer. Comes with a set of clothes and animal trap. There were no takers. Now 13 years later he finds himself stranded in the small town of Gallup New Mexico in the snowstorm of the century twenty-four inches on the ground and still falling. He has misplaced his wallet with money and identification. A girl he knows from college lives close and he calls her. Little did he know that by making that phone call he would find himself at times fearing for his life and trapped among the most unusual collection of characters imaginable outside of Twains Missouri Carrolls Wonderland Baums Oz Tolkienss Middle Earth Brontes 1840 Yorkshire McManus Idaho or Ericksons Hank in the West Texas Panhandle. It would be a Christmas shared with a proud WWII Marine loyal Indians a cantankerous pirate an unstable attack parrot two beautiful girls parents and an amoral 67 giant. Fate had given him an opportunity at the old fashion Christmas of his dreams. All he had to do was survive and avoid the police.
