The Christmas Letters

The perfect antidote for the toxic chaos of contemporary life, The Christmas Letters is a hilarious family tale that will open hearts and tickle funny bones of everyone who is either in a family or from one. Written as Christmas epistles from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the beginning of the new Millennium, the book is a funny, nostalgic family memoir of the Nineties. It follows Sue, Lara, Mark and Fergie (the dachshund) as they figure out how to get through the day; how to be parents when you haven’t a clue; how to love and laugh and cry, and still get to school on time. Plus, there’s a wistful look back at another era before social media took us hostage. You’ll be enchanted by the stories, travel, politics and important life lessons, like how to raise kids, while keeping your Tupperware lids from disappearing. Of course, the spirit of Christmas runs throughout, and you’ll feel it within. The Letters is fun, sad, touching; and like the infamous holiday fruitcake, a little ridiculous. Hey, It’s family.
