A Yammering Yoke of Yuletide Yarns

About the Book

This book talks about a handful of things—with schemes to trap and catch Santa Claus, looking at Christmas dinner from the point of view of the humble vegetable, lessons on Christmas history, parables about the folly of the Yuletide season, playing with the English language and showing how it breaks all its own rules, Australian political comment, introducing previously unknown Christmas characters, rants about capitalistic consumerism, and many other philosophical and hairbrained theories explained with humor and insight.
