The Book of (Holiday) Awesome

Neil Pasricha

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 other holidays throughout the year, such as Mother's Day and Thanksgiving, The Book of (Holiday) Awesome will show you why holidays are...AWESOME.

- Making the first footprint in fresh snow
- When the in-laws leave
- Waking up and realizing it's Christmas
- Just barely wrapping a gift with that tiny scrap of leftover wrapping paper
- When they finally stop playing Christmas songs on the radio
- Knowing "Kwanzaa" is worth more Scrabble points than "Hanukkah" or "Christmas"

About the Author

Neil Pasricha gets stuck in traffic jams, eats entire tubs of ice cream in one sitting, and has terrible posture. He's just a regular guy who loves sneaking candy into movies, stomping dry crunchy leaves on sidewalks, and watching cream go into coffee.
