There''s nothing like the holidays. They bring out the best, and sometimes the worst, in everyone. Luckily, Neil Pasricha is here to remind us that not only are the holidays great but there''s actually even more to celebrate than we realize. From Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa to such holidays as Mother''s Day and Father''s Day, Thanksgiving, and beyond, The Book of (Holiday) Awesome will show you why holidays are . . . AWESOME!

Plugging in the Christmas lights from last year and having them all work.
When the in-laws leave.
Successfully regifting a present to someone who actually wants it.
Drinking with Grandma.
Just barely wrapping a gift with that tiny scrap of leftover wrapping paper.
Knowing Kwanzaa is worth more Scrabble points than Hanukkah or Christmas.

The Perfect Solution to Holiday Shopping: Buy a Copy for Everyone on Your List!
by Kathy LaLota

This follow-up to Neil's The Book of Awesome and Even More Awesome, will become a holiday classic read every year! It's focus on the warmth, wonder, and humor of the holidays will leave you smiling and not minding the crowded malls, xmas card writing, and pine needles in the carpet. It leaves you feeling as satisfied as when you have a steaming mug of cocoa snuggled in pajamas after a hard day's sledding...warm and mmmmmmm. Neil once again reminds us that the little things in life are really where it's at. Yeah, life's big events can tumble and rumble us, but the daily small joys, especially at the holidays, make it all worth experiencing. Ho, Ho, Ho! This book makes a terrific holiday gift! A great idea is to give this along with the Calendar of Awesome! I plan to use these as my go-to gifts this season.
