This book is an absolute smorgasbord of holiday cheer. Fifteen short pieces by John Scalzi including an interview with Santaslawyer, a list of nefarious Christmas specials (if you wouldn't pay to see "A Canadian Christmas with David Cronenberg", we cannot be friends), and a great story about Christmas in July are among the goodies in this delightful book. It's a treasure!
