Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris

4.0

Probably the perfect little jam to get you through the holiday season with those loved ones. The opening essay "SantaLand Diaries" is blisteringly funny (I laughed out loud a few times) and tells of the author's run as a Macy's elf. Later, the mock family Christmas letter "Seasons Greetings To Our Friends and Family!!!" elicits guffaws with its dark suburban humor. The third story that I really liked of the six is "Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol," told from the perspective of a theater reviewer who opts to lacerate some children's Christmas shows. Well worth the quick read. I chuckled and chortled from start to finish.
