Synopsis
Christmas seems to be a catalyst for family insanity, and few people have a family as crazy as Augusten Burroughs's bunch. With his typical bitter wit and acid candor, Burroughs shares some of his most memorable Christmas moments, such as the time he passionately sucked the face off of a disturbingly attractive wax Santa Claus and how he once gave his parents permission to kill each other after being dissatisfied with their gifts to him. True to the spirit of the season, Burroughs also displays a welcome ability to find treasured moments amidst the yuletide turmoil, as he poignantly reminisces about sharing a last holiday with his AIDS-afflicted lover and recalls a moment of transcendence he experienced while being serenaded with Christmas carols by a homeless woman.

A volume of holiday tales by the best-selling author of Running with Scissors celebrates his best and worst Christmas seasons, marked by such memories as a six-foot stuffed Santa, a gingerbread tenement, and awakening with a hangover beside Kris Kringle. 500,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
