NOW CLOSED: Book Giveaway: Christmas Sucks

by Briana Carter on December 2, 2008

30460096 NOW CLOSED: Book Giveaway: Christmas SucksFrom the author of Pregnancy Sucks, the newest book from Joanne Kimes,Christmas Sucks: What to Do When Fruitcake, Family, and Finding the Perfect Gift Make You Miserable NOW CLOSED: Book Giveaway: Christmas Sucks is just in time for chaos of the holidays. This book is one of the only I’ve read that discusses the downside of the holiday in such a funny way. I was particularly fond of “Smelly Claus, Smelly Claus” section.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who gets overstressed at the holidays – which is most of us. It will give you many laughs while giving tips to make the holiday less stressful. I don’t recommend it for the perfect Martha Stewart/Bree VanDeCamp types, you may not find it as funny…ha ha ha! At only $8.96 (Amazon.com), this book would also make a perfect holiday gift for your fellow holiday-stressed friends.

You can read my full review HERE.

I’m also giving away a copy to one lucky reader!

    What stresses me out about the holidays is the pressure to shop, shop shop.

    Looks like a good book! This is my first married Christmas and I am stressed out about trying to get in time with all of our families and not making anyone (and by anyone, I mean my mother in law) upset.

    What stresses me out is how busy I always seem to be in the run-up to the holidays, and not from things like shopping or wrapping gifts! I’d like to have more time to enjoy the spirit of the season.

    wrapping presents sucks!

    I hate trying to get Christmas cards mailed on time. I’ve sent them out in January more than once!

    Expectations of extended family. Living at a distance, we need to be everywhere for the big days … so we just don’t go anywhere.
  • Kandi - December 02, 2008 @ 1:10 pm 11
    What is stressing me out this year is that we just purchased our first home last week and it has boxes everywhere! I also have 3 small kids, holidays to plan, decorations to put up, oh, my list goes on and on….

    Looks like an interesting book. What stresses me out the most is when I agree with people that we won’t swap gifts and then they get me a gift anyway. Then I have to figure out if I get them something in return or just be thankful that they got me something.

    What stresses me out about the holidays is setting the dates and details for our family holiday get-together. For some reasaon, it is very difficult to make the plans without offending someone–every year it happens!

    what stresses me out the most is finding gifts for everyone within our budget.
  • Stephanie - December 02, 2008 @ 5:30 pm 18
    Biggest holiday stressor- In laws! What do you buy the in laws? Hubby is no help and they simply buy everything they want! I feel like a cop out everytime I give pictures but, what else is there???

    Buying gifts for my entire family (I have 5 sisters) and making sure I get things they like, on a budget, stresses me out the most!
  • DebbieLynne - December 02, 2008 @ 9:01 pm 20
    What stresses me the most is having to undecorate when everything it over. I hate having to pack everthing up.

    from your review: “using the 800 number through frucall.com to get comparable prices while shopping” – never knew about that, but it sounds interesting, thanks! My husband is a Christmas scrooge, so this book would make him laugh, too!
