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).©1997 David Sedaris; (P)1997, 2001 Time Warner AudioBooks

David Sedaris narrating and his stories

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The stories featuring David Sedaris were funny and entertaining. Then in the middle of an otherwise good book... the twisted story of the Dunbar family happened. Not cool. Ann Magnuson did a great performance with a singularly horrid piece. I listened hoping it would get better and was disappointed.

Mostly Entertaining

Santa Land Diaries is the only story worth reading in this collection.

there is another version of Holidays on ice from 2008 which is much better.

Not his best

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Sedaris is always entertaining, but the humor of the early 90s can land a bit flat on 21st century ears.

Funny but dated

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I love David Sedaris but this was weaker than I expected. His career as a Christmas elf was great. Went downhill from there (until his rendition of Silent Night). If you're looking to try something, go with 'Corduroy and Denim' or 'Me Talk Pretty' first.
