Any Catholic or parocial school student will giggle at Wally's memories. An adorable tale of his youth.

If you like the movie A Christmas Story , you'll love this book. Takes place in the 70s in Connecticut from the perspective of a 5th grade boy. Hilarious.

Read this if you or your parents grew up in the '60s. Or, read it if you went to Catholic school. Not the greatest book ever; but for me, this was nostalgic and hilarious. A quick read for the holidays.

Cute little slice of life Christmas book that honestly gave me strong Charlie Brown Christmas vibes.

More about growing up catholic in the 60s than about christmas, but it was cute, light-hearted, and odd-ball enough to keep me smiling.
