Review: Crazy family, crazy holiday!

This is not a religious Christmas book.  It makes no attempt or claims to be that.  What it is, is the funny, touching and sometimes crazy story of a woman trying to give her friends and family a sense of belonging during the holiday season. I think it is a metaphor for all of us during this time of year when we over-extend ourselves, our wallets and our mental well-being because it is "supposed" to be the thing to do.  If your family has managed to focus on the meaning of the holidays and avoid commercialism, kudos to you.  The majority of readers will be able to relate to this family in some way or other.
