You Better Not Cry: Stories for Christmas

by Augusten Burroughs

Yes, it’s another slim volume of some funny and some not-so-funny holiday stories from a sort of popular author.

The title story, You Better Not Cry, is funny (thank goodness). I don’t want to give anything away, but Burroughs does manage to eat Santa’s face. Ha!

Also amusing is Claus and Effect, in which the author very humorously criticizes stocking stuffers of Christmas past.

Otherwise, don’t bother. Instead, check out Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris. It is a much funnier collection.
