For fans of Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson comes an
uproarious and oddly endearing essay collection for anyone
trying to survive the holidays in one piece.
When it comes to time-honored holiday traditions, Jen Mann
pulls no punches In this hilariously irreverent collection of essays, Jen
Mann, nationally bestselling author of People I Want to
Punch in the Throat, turns her mordant wit on the holidays.
On Mann’s naughty list: mothers who go way overboard with
their Elf on the Shelf, overzealous carolers who can’t take
a hint, and people who write their Christmas cards in the
third person (“Joyce is enjoying Bunko. Yeah, Joyce, we know
you wrote this letter.”). And on her nice list . . . well,
she’s working on that one. Here, no celebration is
off-limits. The essays include: • You Can Keep Your Cookies, I’m Just Here for the Booze
• Nice Halloween Costume. Was Skank Sold Out?
• Why You Won’t Be Invited to Our Chinese New Year Party
From hosting an ill-fated Chinese New Year party, to
receiving horrible gifts from her husband on Mother’s Day,
to reluctantly telling her son the truth about the Easter
Bunny, Mann knows the challenge of navigating the holidays
while keeping her sanity intact. And even if she can’t get
out of attending another Christmas cookie exchange, at least
she can try again next year.
