Summary

You’ve eaten too much candy at Christmas…but have you ever eaten the face off a six-foot stuffed Santa? You’ve seen gingerbread houses…but have you ever made your own gingerbread tenement? You’ve woken up with a hangover…but have you ever woken up next to Kris Kringle himself? Augusten Burroughs has, and in this caustically funny, nostalgic, poignant, and moving collection he recounts Christmases past and present—as only he could. With gimlet-eyed wit and illuminated prose, Augusten shows how the holidays bring out the worst in us and sometimes, just sometimes, the very, very best.

Quotes from the Critics

"The high priest of mortifying disaster serves up a fine selection of cringe-inducing yuletide fiascos....Another winner from a master of comic timing and poignant reflection." (starred review) - Kirkus Reviews

"[A] welcome antidote to standard holiday treacle..." - Entertainment Weekly
