From the comedian and New York Times bestselling author comes a ferociously funny book about his least favorite holiday- Christmas. In his hilarious book about the biggest holiday of the year, Lewis Black lets loose on all things Yule: from how the holiday is celebrated to the traditions that drive him nuts; from being cast as Ebenezer Scrooge in a tour of A Christmas Carol to celebrating the holiday with his ex-wife during their short-lived (and disastrous) marriage.
