David Sedaris's beloved holiday collection is new again with six more pieces, including a never before published story. Along with such favoritesas the diaries of a Macy's elf and the annals of two very competitive families, are Sedaris's tales of tardy trick-or-treaters ("Us and Them"); the difficulties of explaining the Easter Bunny to the French ("Jesus Shaves"); what to do when you've been locked out in a snowstorm ("Let It Snow"); the puzzling Christmas traditions of other nations ("Six to Eight Black Men"); what Halloween at the medical examiner's looks like ("The Monster Mash"); and a barnyard secret Santa scheme gone awry ("Cow and Turkey").

No matter what your favorite holiday, you won't want to miss celebrating it with the author who has been called "one of the funniest writers alive" (Economist).©2008 David Sedaris; (P)2008 David Sedaris Dark Humor Literature & Fiction Satire Funny Witty Feel-Good

Editorial Review

You didn’t think I was going to be *all* doom and gloom, did you?? Last night I picked up a bottle of brandy from the corner wine store, poured it with a splash of eggnog into my Fishs Eddy Turnt tumbler, and settled in for an evening of wrapping gifts and listening to David Sedaris’s Santaland Diaries from Holidays on Ice. His hilarious account of working as a department store elf is an absolute classic (shenanigans, obviously, ensue), and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do. —Rachel S., Audible Editor

Just go for it! David Sedaris is a fantastic writer and performer, plus Amy Sedaris and Ann Magnussen perform here as well. What's not to like?

It's David Sedaris, what else do you need to know?

I bought this audiobook because of the Santaland diaries which I really liked but after that he just has a lot of stories that are just made up rather than personal accounts from his history or about his family etc. which are my favorites. The extra stories on the end are already available on other audiobooks so those weren't special either. I love David Sedaris but I'm not sure if the Santaland diaries were worth $15 in an audiobook.

Santaland diaries are the best part

I spent every moment of listening to this audio book hysterically laughing to the point where I almost crashed my car multiple times. This is a must read!

So funny

That is all.
The review status says I need to write 15+ words, but I'm not sure what else to say.
The book gave me belly laughs. Sometimes, inappropriate belly laughs - meaning the is politically incorrect.

Hilarious
