IT’S LAURIE NOTARO’S VACATION GUIDE. PREPARE TO LAUGH YOUR TINSEL OFF.It’s the most wonderful–and most dreadful–season of the entire year, when boxes of truffles attack your thighs, drunken holiday revelers stay long-past their welcome, and your grandmother has conniptions at the department-store within the price of hand lotion. Welcome to Laurie Notaro’s Christmastime. In five brand-new tales and three previously printed favorites, Notaro gives the side-splitting everyday problems of the breaks, like discovering himself on emergency female item recon at night on Christmas Eve; surrendering to the expected Terrible Present March simply by requesting vacation dish towels and large white underpants from Sears; fighting the idiots in-line at the Seventh Circle of Hell, otherwise referred to as the do-it-yourself craft shop; and attempting to live down her status whilst the Many Unfun Christmas Celebration Visitor Actually, because of an unfortunate misconception concerning a phony overdose and emergency paramedics.
