David Sedaris's beloved holiday collection is new again with six more pieces, including a never before published story. Along with such favoritesas the diaries of a Macy's elf and the annals of two very competitive families, are Sedaris's tales of tardy trick-or-treaters ("Us and Them"); the difficulties of explaining the Easter Bunny to the French ("Jesus Shaves"); what to do when you've been locked out in a snowstorm ("Let It Snow"); the puzzling Christmas traditions of other nations ("Six to Eight Black Men"); what Halloween at the medical examiner's looks like ("The Monster Mash"); and a barnyard secret Santa scheme gone awry ("Cow and Turkey").

No matter what your favorite holiday, you won't want to miss celebrating it with the author who has been called "one of the funniest writers alive" (Economist).

OH LITTLE ELF, OH LITTLE ELF

I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU FIRED!!
Santaland Diaries is one of the funniest holiday routines ever. I like my comedy dry, so keep that in mind. This used to play every year on NPR on Christmas Eve, so they approved. If you don't like your comedy dark, you may not like this and especially the rest of the stories which get very dark. If your from JASPER'S BREATH, KENTUCKY, collect PRE-COLUMBIAN SOFA BEDS, or eat a lot of INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH LASAGNA you might want to skip this. I also loved 6 to 8 Black Men, Let it Snow, Us and Them and Christmas Means Giving.

Next to a Christmas Carol best Christmas book ever

Everyone reads or listens to a Christmas Carol at Christmas time also everyone listens to Or reads the night before Christmas. David Sedaris's Christmas land diaries should also become a part of your Christmas holiday tradition

Hilarious

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes

Who was your favorite character and why?

David as the Santa Elf

Have you listened to any of David Sedaris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes as many as I can. This is up to the same quality.

Any additional comments?

This is a little too dark for anyone under 40 to hear.

Comic Genius

Once again in this new edition Sedaris shows his creative ingenuity and why he is one of our favorite, best selling authors. The story comparing cultural Santas is sheer comic genius and side-splittingly hilarious. Just buy it.

Funny $*!&

These stories are literally laugh out loud funny. A couple are a little bit creepy, but even those, with Sedaris reading them at least make you smile through your horror. Some of them will make you laugh so hard you cry.
