Editorial Reviews

Product Description

These days, Christmas lights adorn front porches before the Thanksgiving turkey is even in the oven. Plane tickets to visit hardly-missed relatives cost more than the suitcase full of presents people have to lug across the country. And radios everywhere play songs about that fat guy in a red suit on an endless loop. Yes, it's official: Christmas Sucks. This title is a humorous look at America's commercialization of the Christmas holiday season and the terrible travel, inordinate amount of preparation, and family strife that accompanies it. You can commiserate with the fact that everyone drives themselves into debt buying gifts, no one enjoys seeing long-lost relatives, and everyone is creeped out by the department store Santa. With twelve days of Christmas, there's plenty of reasons why this is far from the most wonderful time of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny book, May 19, 2009
I bought this book to calm my nerves on a flight to Disneyworld in January. It worked! It was funny and although I don't hate Christmas anymore since my daughter was born (but am now scared of flying), I felt frazzled from a hectic holiday season. The book made me laugh as some of the situations were even worse than mine. Well-written and enjoyable read.
