This is a guide top Christmas that you wouldn't necessarily want to follow but gives you thoughts in your head that sometimes make you think the author is crazy whilst at other times you totally agree with him. The author has very sarcastic undertones throughout this small book of how to prepare for and get through the festive preparations and parties by , shall we say , thinking a bit differently ! You wonder why you bother to write and post endless Christmas cards to friends and family you only ever see at christenings, weddings and funerals. You know they will only end up in the recycle bin at the end of the 12 days of Christmas so why go to all that trouble ? You wonder why it is so important for you to wrap your Christmas presents so that they look like they have just come from a shop window display when you know it will take twenty seconds to rip it all off to find out the gift inside is something the recipient doesn't really need or want. Lighthearted and funny enough to pop into your brother's Christmas stocking knowing that he will agree with everything the author has written
