Just in time for Christmas Eve, a reading of “A Coastal Christmas,” by Long Beach Peninsula author Lynette Rae McAdams (the book is illustrated by Astoria artist Sally Lackaff).
It’s a retelling of the traditional Night Before Christmas story. But in this Pacific Northwest version, Santa gets rescued by some fishermen and the US Coast Guard.

I had occasion to observe an SAR (Search and Rescue) operation being conducted by the US Coast Guard in the Columbia River off Astoria. They were searching for possible lost kayakers who may have been swept away by King Tides running strong in the river. It was heartbreaking to watch the light fading on a winter day, and the helicopter searching, searching, and finding no one. A cautionary note about paying attention to conditions before you go out.
