I like the non-fiction stories so much better than the fiction; if this was just the non-fiction it would be a solid 5 stars. ( ![]() Sedaris is always a delightful break. Even when he's being horrible. I read Calypso a while ago and loved it. So I had high expectations for this book. This book was disappointing. Santaland Diaries is a classic. Most of the rest is just meh. Dark. Doesn't really fit the theme suggested by the title. I definitely prefer Sedaris' non-fiction to fiction. I liked the first story the best, and after that, I was kind of ambivalent to the rest of the book. The humor seemed mean-spirited at times, too. Sedaris was recommended highly to me by a number of people, but it wasn't for me. Interesting collection, though, even if I didn't think it was laugh-out-loud funny.
I love David Sedaris as he is one of my favorite authors but this is not one of his best books. You should still read "Holidays on Ice" because it is funny and will make you smile. Holidays are crazy for everyone, no matter what holidays you celebrate and Sedaris reminds us to laugh at them, especially ourselves. FOR THOSE DREADING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, BESTSELLER SEDARIS (WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES) MAKES LIFE A LITTLE EASIER WITH THIS RE-RELEASE OF HIS UPROARIOUS ESSAY COLLECTION, NEWLY EXPANDED FROM THE ORIGINAL 1997 EDITION. Here are six Christmas tales sure to please readers new to humorist, playwright and NPR commentator Sedaris--and likely to disappoint his devotees. Ingår iÄr avkortad iPriser

HTML: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)..
