  <default_description>It&#8217;s the most wonderful &#8211; and most dreadful &#8211; season of the year, when boxes of truffles attack your thighs, drunken holiday revelers stay long past their welcome, and your grandmother has conniptions at the department store over the price of hand lotion. Welcome to &lt;i&gt;Laurie Notaro&#8217;s&lt;/i&gt; Christmastime. 
In ten brand-new stories and three previously published favorites, Notaro shares the sidesplitting daily disasters of the holidays, like finding herself on emergency feminine product recon at midnight on Christmas Eve; surrendering to the inevitable Horrible Gift Parade by simply asking for holiday dish towels and giant white underpants from Sears; battling the morons in line at the Seventh Circle of Hell, otherwise known as the do-it-yourself craft store; and trying to live down her reputation as the Most Unfun Christmas Party Guest Ever, due to an unfortunate misunderstanding involving a fake overdose and emergency paramedics. 
So whether you find yourself at the Dull and Smart Party or the Raucous and Stupid Party this holiday season, you&#8217;ll always know where to find Laurie &#8211; just follow the chocolate trail over to the cheese platter. She&#8217;ll be the one dialing the cops.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I'm done with Notaro for right now. It's not that I didn't enjoy this - I did, in places - but I think I'm getting diminishing returns - less laughter with each subsequent book. I'm also getting sort of tired of Notaro. One book is apparently my recommended yearly dose of her, and now that I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43276452">more...</a>]]></body>

Although nothing can ever, ever be as hysterical as David Sedaris' Santaland Diaries, I always think it's fun to read something seasonal during December.<br/><br/>While funny, the first ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10869976">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Again, Laurie Notaro won me over and had me in stiches from beginning to end!  I love her books because each chapter is a quick, witty read and very short for people such as myself who like to read just a tiny bit before bed.  Also, great to read in one shot - easy, fun and a great laugh!]]></body>

I believe I read a review of this book in Bust's book reviews column and liked that enough to add it to my list of to-reads.  But I was pretty disappointed.
