The mash-up of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's that has become "the Holiday Season" is, without doubt, the most unpleasant time of the year to travel, to shop, to visit the relatives. No wonder so many people suffer the Holiday Blues, as we have turned formerly happy festivals into tension conventions, worrying about missed flights, gift anxiety (did I spend too much? Not enough?) and entertaining the way of high-priced celebrity chefs. This book skewers it all and with high humor and good fun asks us to take the pressure off the holidays and make them fun again.
