The book is about how to survive Christmas for a snowflake - a snowflake is a term for liberal minded people, who are easily offended, not just about Christmas and New Year but many other political issues and climate change.
The book was a manageable size in one sitting, but unfortunately there were, for me, not many laughs along the way.
The book's chapters are based around the 'problems' with some aspects of Christmas... the tree, the cards, the carols, the turkey! It has a handy index, so if you have a particular vice, you can jump to that chapter right away. Each chapter discusses the problem, why it is such a problem, and then gives you some suggestions of how to problem-solve. You then have the funny solutions, hacks and hints and tips to make this particular element of Christmas that bit more bearable to you.
There were facts about Christmas and it's traditions, quizzes and a few problem-solving ideas, but from Dave Skinner I expected a bit more humour and a funny look at Christmas.
