So, to understand what this book is about, people need to know what snowflake means. And had no idea what it means, so I would not even look at it on the shelf in store. So this novel is showing how can you break Christmas traditions for more sustainable alternatives. First of all, its good advice, because many traditional things come from centuries ago, where environment and survival was not ones priority. On the other hand, this book is grumpy and moany. Like someone deciphering every thing done on Christmas and saying how bad everything is.
