"A Christmas Carol" Spoof is a Classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Garner's spoof of "A Christmas Carol" is a satirical classic. If you can, get the audio version of the book--I listen to Garner's reading of his "Carol" spoof every Christmas. It's become a special party of my holiday season.
Political correctness for Christmas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Garner has taken 5 classic Chrismas fables and turned them on their ear. He uses modern causes mixed with classic characters. My personal favorite was "Rudolph the Nasally Empowered Reindeer". It is Rudolph, but he is organizing the reindeer into a union for better treatment. Everyone of these stories are sarcastic, which makes them even funnier. If you are tired of the same worn Chistmas stories, try these to lighten your mood. Highley recommended.
What a Riot!

This book consists of five stories: 'Twas the Night Before Solstice, Frosty the Persun of Snow, The Nutcracker, Rudolph the Nasally Empowered Reindeer, and A Christmas Carol. Garner's stories are packed with spectacular satire, and left me in hysterics. Although I am a true fan of Christmas, and love all of the original versions of these stories I couldn't have been happier about the jest poked in the direction of a society to absorbed in political corectness that it has forgotten the joy of a season. For an off-beat Christmas treat I urge you to pick up this book. It's a quick read and full of laughs.
An Off-beat Christmas treat.....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
After picking up Garner's Politically Correct Bedtime Stories I rushed out to pick up PC Holiday Stories just in time for Christmas. I have to say that the majority of the book is just as delightful as the first. This volume consists of five stories: 'Twas the Night Before Solstice, Frosty the Persun of Snow, The Nutcracker, Rudolph the Nasally Empowered Reindeer, and A Christmas Carol. In my opinion, `Twas the Night Before Solstice was the best of the stories. Garner gives us an incredibly hilarious rendition of The Night Before Christmas including a dreams of lentils and warm whole grain breads (instead of the traditional sugarplums), trees dressed "like a seasonal strumpet", and, in an act of great Christmas good-doing, the kids liberate Santa's reindeer. The only bad part about the book, and it's hard to even call it bad, is the length of A Christmas Carol. Garner's stories are packed with puns and satire, so anything over 10 or 15 pages is a bit much...and A Christmas Carol is somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 pages. That said, if you're in the mood for an off-beat Christmas treat I urge you to pick up this book. It's a quick read and full of laughs.
