A short collection of the author's best holiday essays.
For me, Holidays on Ice
served as the perfect post-Christmas casual afternoon read. A couple of them contain some pretty grim humor that might bother some readers (specifically I'm thinking of "Season's Greetings To Our Friends and Family!!!"), but overall I greatly enjoyed this collection. The first essay, "SantaLand Diaries", is worth the price all by itself!

I hate that I didn't get around to this one yet, but I think I'd tackle it even outside of the holidays. Gotta love Sedaris any time of year! Maybe a nice Christmas in July read. hehe
Hi! You expressed interest in my World Citizenship Challenge, so I just wanted to let you know the blog is up and running. :)
Andi ~ This is definitely good for a laugh any time of year! :-)
Eva ~ Thanks!! I may have to lower my original sign-up level, but I'm still interested for sure!

I've seen SO many reviews of this book this month. I'll probably add it to my list for next year.
Ladytink ~ I almost didn't bother to review it because of that. But it was fun to read! :-)

I listened to this and thought it was great too - my favorites were Santa Land Diaries and Jesus Shaves.
Bermudaonion ~ Jesus Shaves must have been an audio-extra. It's not in the book. Dang! :-)

This is becoming an annual tradition for me, to listen to H on Ice - nothing like the Santa's elf story to get you in the mood! I love his stuff, especially read by him.
Terri ~ I totally agree about listening to him read his own work. It's funny by itself, but with him reading, it's even better!

I've heard many good things about this book but never did get to read it this year-maybe next year instead.
Dar ~ I think you'll like it when you get to it.
