"A string of cheap lights can turn the ordinary into something shimmering and magical, the drab into the dazzling. Christmas lights remind us that the ordinary is extraordinary if viewed in the right light." Funny and poignant, Santa's Little Helper Wants To Eat Your Children & Other Holiday Musings is a collection of holiday-themed essays and recollections from award-winning writer Rob Errera that looks at the family, friends, feasts, fantasy, and folklore behind the modern American holiday season. Grab a mug of something hot, and curl up for a cozy yuletide ride through decorating disasters, family freak-outs, and child-eating monsters. Santa's Little Helper Wants To Eat Your Children & Other Holiday Musings includes bonus essays about New Years, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Independence Day, digging into the history and traditions of these classic American celebrations.
