When Stuever's narrative begins, he's standing in line with the people waiting to get flat-screen Tv sets at Best Buy on Dark colored Friday, the beginning of the Holiday shopping season. After that he follows lots of key residents of Frisco, Texas, as they find their way through the nativity and all its attendant crises: Tammy Parnell, an eternally optimistic suburban mother and proprietor of "Two Elves with a Twist," a business that decorates other people's houses for Holiday; Jeff and Bridgett Trykoski, owners of that one house every town has, the house obvious from space with the brightest and most awe-inspiring Christmas accessories; and single mother and Lender of America employee Caroll Cavazos, who desires that the life-affirming moments of Holiday might triumph over the problems of all of those other yr.Steuver's portraits are at once humane, heartfelt, revealing - and very, very funny. Tinsel is a compelling tale of the half-trillion-dollar holiday, measuring what we've become against the historical rituals of what we've been.
