Holidays on Ice - David Sedaris

David Sedaris returns this holiday season with two new volumes of hilarious personal essays.  Holidays On Ice (Little, Brown, $16.99) has made David the new Dickens and this volume, which includes six new stories, is the perfect stocking stuffer.  The story that started it all, “SantaLand Diaries,” takes center stage, and we watch enrapt as Sedaris suffers through a memorable Christmas season as an elf in Macy’s SantaLand.  It is impossible not to laugh as Sedaris’s wonderfully critical eye focuses on snow days, Secret Santa, and the unavoidable family Christmas letter.
