Very funny video! My youngest was annoyed though. “Why do they laugh at Every Thing He Says?” he wants to know. “He says one word and they start cracking up. IT’S NOT THAT FUNNY!”
Good thing Sedaris doesn’t have an audience of skeptical 8-year-olds.

My daughter and I are going to see David Sedaris tonight – I hope he includes some of those stories!

Well, I’ve said this before, but Let it Snow was my favorite. I also really liked Dinah the Christmas Whore. I thought the scene with her in the kitchen, how the mother and father reacted so differently was pretty funny.

The last time I laughed out loud: today!

I have heard nothing but good things about this book. I wish I would have had to read this season. Glad you liked it.

I asked for this for one of my Christmas book exchanges this year and did not get it! I am going to have to buy it for myself because reading it AFTER Christmas would not be as fun.

It does sound funny! That first video made me lol. Customs from other countries seem so odd to me, interesting of course, but still odd.

I think it’s especially important to laugh out loud during the holidays — saves your sanity, right?

Nice review…I’ll keep my eyes open for this one!

Those were great videos. I’d love to go to one of his readings sometime, I feel like even if you’ve heard the stories, they’re still hilarious when he reads them.

oh my goodness, I am crying from laughter over here. “Now he only pretends to kick you.” oh my.

I listened to this on audiobook and most of it is hilarious! His tone is perfect for his stories.
