Holidays on Ice
By David Sedaris

     If you have read or listened to any of Dave Sedaris's books, you already know he has a wonderful, and yet unique sense of humor. His newest re-release, Holidays on Ice, is no exception.

     Dave takes his everyday experiences and all of life's little ups and downs ands retells them in such a way as to leave the reader breathless, not with fear or anxiety, but with good old belly-hurting laughter.

     Holidays on Ice is 6 stories told about the Christmas holidays. The first, "Santaland Diaries" is told about when Dave applied for and received a job as a Christmas elf at the famous Macy's on Harold Square in New York City, The results are two hilarious stories about elf-training and lots of other hilarity that comes with being a grown man, dressed in green tights during the busiest holiday of the year.

     The remaining stories are no less funny. I would gladly recommend that anyone pick up a copy to read during the Christmas holidays. It may reinforce your holiday spirits or cause you to look at some irritating circumstances with a bit more of a light heart. This is one book that is guaranteed to put a smile on even the meanest old Scrooge.
