    " There were a couple of chuckles in this book but really it felt like the majority of the writers were just trying too hard to be clever or funny or add enough hyperbole to make their Christmas outstanding. "

    " Perfect pre or post Christmas read for the rest of us. There's nothing deep or profound in these short stories but they are worth alot of knowing laughs. "

    " A collection of short stories only one of which I found interesting/entertaining. Many of the stories could have been written as a class assignment in creative writing. Most would not have received a passing grade. "

    " Most of the stories were hard to get into, and you had to know their version of Christmas to really get how bad it was. And I was hoping more for funny stories about bad Christmases than depressing ones. "

    " Scathing, irreverent, some Jewish, series of short stories of Christmases gone bad. Made me laugh when I was losing my sense of humor. Would make a good gift in early Dec. "
