According to Daily Show regular Lewis Black (Me of Little Faith), peace on earth and good will to all men are radically overrated. In his new book, he riffs on Christmas with a ferocious misanthropy that would make even the early Scrooge envious. Almost every tradition and aspect of his least favorite holiday rouses his bile.

I just thought this would be funnier. I think the Appendix about his USO tour was the best part, the rest was just ok. It was a book about what Lewis does on one givne Christmas, and I was thinking it would be short stories that happened to him at Christmas.
