Does the coming Christmas season conjure up going into debt (again), terrible travel and creepy mall Santa Clauses? Then you probably agree- Christmas can suck! Good news… there’s a new book that says you’re not alone.
CHRISTMAS SUCKS: WHAT TO DO WHEN FRUITCAKE, FAMILY AND FINDING THE PERFECT GIFT MAKE YOU MISERABLE by Joanne Kimes is a collection of practical tips that will help you save your sanity this holiday. It’s an amusing look at America’s commercialization of the Christmas holiday season and all the strife and stress that goes with it. I recently had the chance to read a copy of this book and found myself identifying with so many of the points Kimes made about how Christmas has turned into a huge holiday free-for-all and less about the true meaning and spirit of the holiday. Her tips are practical and if you are looking to scale back and “just say no” this holiday season, then this is the book for you.

It sounds like a book worth reading. Goodness knows Christmas isn’t all joy and goodwill toward men. In fact it gets pretty darn stressful at times. I am always willing to read tips on how to make the Christmas season go more smoothly.
