Download Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Yuletide Yahoos, Ho-Ho-Humblebraggers, and Other Seasonal Scourges AudioBook Free
For supporters of Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson comes an uproarious and oddly endearing article collection for anyone trying to endure the holidays in one piece. When it involves time-honored holiday customs, Jen Mann pulls no punches. Within this hilariously irreverent collection of essays, Jen Mann, nationally best-selling author of People I wish to Punch in the Neck, becomes her mordant wit on the holidays. On Mann's naughty list: mothers who go way overboard with the Elf on the Shelf, overzealous carolers who can't have a hint, and folks who write their Xmas cards in the third person ("Joyce is enjoying Bunko. Yeah, Joyce, we realize you wrote this notice."). And on her behalf nice list...well, she's working on that a person. Here, no special event is off-limits. The essays include: "You Can Keep Your Cookies, I'm Just Here for the Booze"
"Nice COSTUME. Was Skank Sold Out?"
"Why YOU WILL NOT Be Invited to Our Chinese New Year Party" From hosting an ill-fated Chinese language New Year party to receiving unpleasant products from her husband on Mother's Day to reluctantly telling her son the truth about the Easter Bunny, Mann is aware the challenge of navigating the holidays while keeping her sanity intact. As well as if she can't escape attending another Xmas cookie exchange, at least she can try again next 12 months.
