You've caten too much chocolate at Christmas... but have you ever caten the face off a six-foot-tall 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 book he recounts Christmases past and present - as only he can. With gimlet-eyed wit and brilliant prose, Augusten shows how the holiday brings out the worst in us and sometimes, just sometimes, the very, very best.
