In the traditional, self deprecating style of all books in the "about men" genre comes "A Married Man's Guide To Christmas".  Filled with every cliched, alcohol-swilling, self-destructive, we-are-ALL-idiots-who-can't-do-anything-right supposed insight...this book is the granddaddy of them all in the "men-are-slovenly-pigs-who-have-no-redeeming-social-value" category.  Please don't get me wrong, I know the book was written by a man and it is humorous and well written...it even seems to be universally loved, so you will most likely love it as well; but I just get a little tired of being shoehorned into the "ALL-men-are...(insert your favorite pet peeve here)" category.Really, it's a fast, fun read, humorously illustrated, stereotypical but overall enjoyable, so if you are a guy...grab booze, your rattiest (but favorite) clothes, dive into your Lazy Boy (which EVERYONE knows is the perfect description of the guy occupying it) and sit back and enjoy some insight as to what we  "guys" are all about.  If you are a woman...nod your head up and down while muttering "EXACTLY, that's him" or back and forth while disgustedly stating "Ha!  HE doesn't know a THING about women!" at all the appropriate parts.  Then...look into each other's eyes while hugging and kissing, say "Merry Christmas" and thank your lucky stars that you have each other to love (despite your differences) this Holiday Season.
