Summary:
"An oddly endearing essay collection for anyone trying to survive the holidays in one piece. When it comes to time-honored holiday traditions, Jen Mann pulls no punches In this hilariously irreverent collection of essays, Jen Mann, creator of the PeopleIWantToPunchInTheThroat.com blog turns her mordant wit on the holidays. On Mann's naughty list: mothers who go way overboard with their Elf on the Shelf, overzealous carolers who can't take a hint and people who write their Christmas cards in the third person. And on her nice list. well, she's working on that one. The essays include You Can Keep Your Cookies, I'm Just Here for the Booze. From hosting an ill-fated Chinese New Year party, to receiving horrible gifts from her husband on Mother's Day, to reluctantly telling her son the truth about the Easter Bunny, Mann knows the challenge of navigating the holidays. And even if she can't get out of attending another Christmas cookie exchange, at least she can try again next year. Jen Mann is the author of People I Want To Punch in the Throat : competitive crafters, drop-off despots, and other suburban scourges, based on her blog. She has written for The Huffington Post, Babble, Circle of Moms, and CNN Headline News. She was nominated for two Bloggies in 2013 (Weblog of the Year and Best Parenting Weblog).
