You Better Not Cry

You''ve eaten too much candy at Christmas...but have you ever eaten the face off a six-foot stuffed Santa? You''ve seen gingerbread houses...but have you ever made your own gingerbread tenement? You''ve woken up with a hangover...but have you ever woken up next to Kris Kringle himself? Augusten Burroughs has and in this caustically funny nostalgic poignant and moving collection he recounts Christmases past and present - as only he could. With gimleteyed wit and illuminated prose Augusten shows how the holidays bring out the worst in us and sometimes just sometimes the very very best.
