Robert's Hill (or the Time I Pooped My Snowsuit) and Other Christmas Stories - by Jeremy John (Paperback)

About the Book

Humorous and heartfelt Christmas stories that illuminate the everyday magic of the season. Being with family. Basking in tradition. Pooping your snowsuit. Each tale is meant to be read out-loud, maybe with some rum and eggnog. But if you're out of eggnog, rum goes well with lots of things.

Book Synopsis

This humorous and heartfelt collection of Christmas tales reflects on the best of the holiday: family, tradition, binge drinking, divorce, and poop.

Robert's Hill (or The Time I Pooped My Snowsuit) and Other Christmas Stories is the perfect collection for Christmas in the real world. No talking snowman or cute woodland animal who saves Christmas (actually, there is a pigeon who steps in and saves the big day). This selection of heart-warming tales is about the true magic of the season: receiving the ultimate gift only to break it immediately; playing drinking games while watching a holiday special; getting divorced over what seemed like the perfect present. Robert's Hill even settles the debate on the greatest Christmas movie ever made (that's not it) and finally explains how the candy cane was invented (no one really knows, so why not make it up?). This collection will be enjoyed by everyone or, at least, anyone who still loves Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, misses the toys they had as a kid, and thinks pooping your snowsuit is funny.
