David Sedaris`s beloved holiday collection is new again with six more pieces, including a never before published story. Along with such favorites as 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).
