David Sedaris's beloved holiday collection is new again with six more
pieces, including a never before published story. Along with such
favoritesas the diaries of a Macy's elf and the annals of two very
competitive families, are Sedaris's tales of tardy trick-or-treaters
("Us and Them"); the difficulties of explaining the Easter Bunny to the
French ("Jesus Shaves"); what to do when you've been locked out in a
snowstorm ("Let It Snow"); the puzzling Christmas traditions of other
nations ("Six to Eight Black Men"); what Halloween at the medical
examiner's looks like ("The Monster Mash"); and a barnyard secret Santa
scheme gone awry ("Cow and Turkey").
No matter what your favorite holiday, you won't want to miss celebrating
it with the author who has been called "one of the funniest writers
alive" (Economist).
