Sedaris turns his considerable wit and slightly skewed outlook on the Holidays with six additional short stories, including one never before published that are guaranteed to bring a chuckle or three. Experience the dubious joys of being a Macy’s Christmas elf in the Santaland Diaries where Sedaris discovers how much fun dealing with the public while being dressed in green tights can be. The outrageously funny Six to Eight Black Men demonstrates what happens to Holiday traditions when the language barrier is thrown into the mix. Christmas Means Giving takes one-upmanship to the extreme while Season’s Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!! puts an entirely different spin on the dreaded Christmas letter.
Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of Sedaris’s updated Holidays on Ice before all the fa-la-la of the season buries you in the mall. His unusual take on the ordinary coupled with the gift of prose allows us mere mortals to enjoy a different version of the mundane.
