Holidays on Ice

Sedaris skewers the absurd conventions and contrivances of the holiday season, to hilarious effect. Special guest Ann Magnuson performs "Merry Christmas to our Friends and Family," and Amy Sedaris also peppers the stories with comical characters.

"A joy to read....Sedaris is a connoisseur of human nature at its worst."

Starting with his deadpan, disarmingly funny pieces on NPR and continuing with his collections of short fiction and essays, David Sedaris is one of the best, sharpest humorists writing today. His quirky history and family are rich material, but he's also just as hilarious simply satirizing Christmas cards or mocking his own vices.
