Summary:
"Humorous and heartfelt, this collection of irreverent Christmas tales reflects on the best things about the holiday: family, tradition, binge drinking, pigeons, divorce, and poop. Robert's Hill (or The Time I Pooped My Snowsuit) and Other Christmas Stories is the perfect collection for Christmas in the real world. No talking snowman or cute woodland animal who saves Christmas. (Actually, there is a pigeon that steps in and saves the big day.) This selection of heart-warming tales is about the true magic of the season: receiving the ultimate gift only to break it immediately; playing drinking games while watching a holiday special; being thrown out over what seemed like the perfect present. Robert's Hill even settles the debate on which is the greatest Christmas movie ever made (that's not it) and finally explains how the candy cane was invented (no one really knows, so why not make it up). So grab your eggnog and Christmas sweater, and get ready to laugh this festive season"--Provided by publisher.
