Who doesn't love to open the mailbox during the holidays and find a newsletter? Whether it's a juicy missive from a college roommate inadvertently revealing her husband's wandering eye, a self-congratulatory account of a cousin's rise to power at the local fast-food joint, or a mind-numbingly detailed account of a year's medical ailments (including photos) from a coworker, they're always entertaining.Christmas Letters from Hell skewers holiday letters of all shapes and sizes, from the ones that come crammed with cheesy graphics or written from the perspective of the recently neutered family dog to those filled with stories of "perfect" family vacations that were clearly anything but. Here Santa uses his holiday letter to let the elves know that he'll be outsourcing to China effective immediately; a bipolar mom tells two very different versions of the year's events; and Osama bin Laden touches base with his high school host family in Minneapolis. Christmas Letters from Hell serves up a steaming, savory blend of the holiday cheer, humor, and twisted truth in our well-intended attempts to stay in touch gone horribly, horribly wrong.
I have the first in this series of this books and was delighted to find to find out that a second one had been written. If you are looking for something unique and different to give, this book delivers the goods in a big way! The letters are smart and hilarious! Definitely something fun to have out at holiday cocktail parties to spark conversation.
Great Christmas gift

Hilarious book, it has Christmas letters that will remind you of all the ones you've seen from your own family just funnier. I would recommend this as a secret Santa gift or for that family member who sends out the family newsletter every year.
