Book Description:
HOLIDAYS ON ICE collects six of David Sedaris' most profound Christmas stories into one slender volume perfect for use as a last-minute coaster or ice scraper. This drinking man's companion can be enjoyed by the warmth of a raging fire, the glow of a brilliantly decorated tree, or even the backseat of a van or police car. It should be read with your eyes, felt with your heart, and heard only when spoken to. It should, in short, behave much like a book. And, oh, what a book it is!

A David Sedaris classic. My book group read it a few years ago. Some people loved it. Others thought it was too cynical for a Christmas book...they probably have a point--but sometimes, cynical at Christmas is just what we all need!

This little book of Christmas stories is the evil twin of a Reader's Digest Christmas story edition. Lots of wit and cynicism, really fun to read.

Jennifer B. (Funny, darker than "Me Talk..." good if you can find it cheap.
Patti S. (I really couldn't get into this one. I guess I look at Christmas in a different way, but I can see where this would appeal to some.
Janey H. (Hilarious essays and short stories from the pen of David Sedaris.
Author Sedaris is a regular commentator for NPR. This story collection is shrewd and wickedly funny. You will indeed
laugh out loud. Book is brand new.
