Review: Hysterical and irreverent-- the best qualities you can ask for in a book - This book doesn't bar any holds, which is refreshing, even if sometimes I'm not sure exactly which of his characters he is lambasting and which he's holding up as the examples of truth. Maybe he's just lambasting *everyone*, regardless, and that's the point. There is no virtue; we're all terrible. And although I was originally under the impression these were personal "essays," I can only hope that most of these unsavory characters are fictional! (I'm being facetious. Of course they are.) Anyway, hilarious from the get-go, and thought provoking in a way that makes you awkwardly ashamed to be human, even though we can't help ourselves. I'm happy that the Macy's elf eventually worked his way into a successful writing career. If that's what happened.
Review: A mixed bag - I have never read any by this author before but have heard about him for years. With the Christmas season in full swing and a bit overloaded with "sweet" holiday reads, this seemed the perfect tonic. A collection of stories that is largely entertaining, I didn't find them to be absolutely hilarious as others have but I did find them interesting and enjoyable. The first story appears to be the most widely known and relates the experience of working in retail as an elf during the holidays. Anyone who has worked in the retail industry will appreciate it. While I enjoyed most of them tremendously, there was one story that turned my stomach and I wish I had skipped it. The story starts out innocently enough as a parody of the typical, annual Christmas letter distributed by many but it slowly decends into ugly and then takes a turn that was repulsive to me. I wish it had not been included since it spoiled an otherwise good collection of stories. Definitely worth a read with that one exception.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my all time favorite writers ever
*by M***Y on December 14, 2025*

All of Sedaris' books are excellent! I read this one every holiday season and laugh all over again. I do wish he'd publish another book. It's been a LONG time.
