Holidays on Ice - ISBNLookup.com

From Barnes & Noble

It's been more than a dozen years since David Sedaris first unwrapped Holidays on Ice, but who can forget this collection of raucous stories about Christmas traditions and mishaps? Several of the stories have become twisted holiday classics; among them "Christmas Means Giving," with its competitively generous neighbors, and "Front Row Center for Thaddeus Bristol," Sedaris' mock serious review of a grade school Christmas pageant. Holidays on Ice now returns with a full bounty of entertaining stories at a remarkable low price . The six stories not in the original edition include tales about Halloween, secret Santas, and the difficulties of explaining the Rabbit of Easter to the French. Buy it; you deserve a laugh.

Christopher Muther

A joy to read....Sedaris is a connoisseur of human nature at its worst.
— Boston Globe

Mark Washburn

Sedaris is certainly worthy of hero worship....He is a master pathfinder.
— Charlotte Observer

Melissa King

A writer comparable to Mark Twain or James Thurber. You have to go back a ways to find someone to compare David Sedaris with; his talent is so huge it just doesn't come around that often.
— Raleigh News & Observer

The News and Advance

...Sedaris has as much fun as is humanly (or elfishly) possible in his behind-the-scenes look at this particularly American tradition of sitting on Santa's lap and asking for stuff...Part of the fun is hearing the reaction of the New Yorkers who have to wait in line, pay for Santa photos, and generally go mad in the Christmas frenzy that Macy's embodies. And Sedaris, never quite who he seems to be, has the nasty tone of his commentary down perfectly.

New York Times

Sedaris is the closest thing the literary world has these days to a rock star.
