Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris

funny reflective medium-paced

4.0

This was a re-read but I hadn’t read it in a while. No matter. It’s a collection of 6 Christmas-themed essays and stories and you can read it in a day. Full of his trademark sardonic wit and satirical humor, the collection ranges from the SantaLand Diaries (his breakthrough essay chronicling his time working as an elf at Macy’s famed SantaLand in Herald Square) to the time his sister brought a prostitute home for Christmas. There are satirical pieces about the drama of family Christmas letters and Christmas morning guilt sermons. Always good for a chuckle and some levity (unless you are not a person who can read sarcasm/satire. I say that seriously because not everyone can and people who can’t really don’t like him). 

If you decide to read it, just a quick heads up that it came out in 1997 and there are some words and phrases that you could definitely not use today. 
4/5 stars.
