Product Description

Product Description

Does the sight of a house festooned in glowing coloured bulbs with an illuminated reindeer in the garden bring you out in a cold sweat? Or is the thought of days of endless cold turkey sandwiches enough to make you become a vegetarian? And what of the adorable little carol singers - does their out-of-tune wailing and screeching set your teeth on edge? And the oh-so-annoying Christmas albums constantly on playing in every crowded shop you visit...the jumper-knitting relatives pouting to be kissed under a poisonous plant...the freezing, dark mornings that make you wish you could stay under the duvet forever...If all these things make you want either to jump aboard the next plane to Timbuktu or stick your head in the oven along with the roast tatties, then this is the must-have survival book for you. Find comfort in the curmudgeonly comments. Laugh at the ludicrous festive facts. And pity those about you who are taken in by the silly-season madness!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST LAUGH THIS XMAS!, 13 Dec 2005
I love this book!!! And don't get me wrong, I count myself among those who love Xmas!! It's simply hilarious and too true in picking out the odd, tacky and darn right crazy elements of this season. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be able to relate to the book in some way and it's been a life-saver for my Xmas shopping!! So what if all my friends and family are getting the same gift this year? They might gripe about it at first, but after a few pages they'll be laughing out loud and proclaiming me best Santa ever! Cheers Daniel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, 15 Jan 2006
This was a great fun read over the Christmas holidays, full of witty observations. Blythe's writing style is easy and off-the-cuff, mocking but friendly. And if anything the rants and asides are "grumpy old man" in character rather than juvenile. The "ways to get rid of carol singers" was hilarious. It's all the more funny because there are people who don't get the joke.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Hate Christmas, 14 Nov 2005
By Laura Gudim (Zagreb, Croatia) - See all my reviews
Brilliant, fantastic, wonderful! It was my words exactly! I have always loathed Christmas and the sheer hypocrisy and the dreadful commercialisation of the damned thing. As a life-long athiest brought up in an athiest family, I have never seen the need to celebrate this tacky rubbish, and Daniel is a man after my own heart! All I can say is Bah Humbug to the 25th of December and Happy New Year to Daniel and all his readers!

1.0 out of 5 stars 'I Hate Christmas'...I feel the same about this book...
Books don't normally annoy me, but this one surely does.

It's not that the topic isn't worthy of exposing. Read more
