An Almost Perfect Christmas by Nina Stibbe
Summary: Every family has its Christmas traditions and
memories, and Nina Stibbe's is no exception. From her kitchen-phobic mother's
annual obsession with roasting the perfect turkey (an elusive dream to this
day) to the quest for a perfect teacher gift (memorable for all the wrong
reasons); from the tragic Christmas tree ("is it meant to look like
that?") to the acceptable formula for thank-you letters (must include
Health Inquiry and Interesting Comment), Nina Stibbe captures all that is
magical and maddening about the holidays.

comments: A very humorous take on Christmas. Each chapters
functions like a short story, concentrating on a specific aspect of the
holidays. Although Christmas is over, you can always enjoy the holidays with
this book. Some of the situations are outlandish, but it always remains
relatable.
Recommended for readers interested in humor.
