Once again, very funny stuff. However, James Garner does not know that a menorah actually has nine candles.

The stories are humorous, but I felt the Christmas Carol was a bit long for satire. After a while, it becomes overdone. Still amusing though.

I'll give Garner one thing; he sure did a great job towing the line in these stories so it's unclear if he's making fun of PC culture or making fun of people threatened by it. So that's certainly impressive.

This collection was fine, and that babasically sums it all up. I didn't find anything to be particularly  clever or funny. The first story - poking at The Night Before Christmas - was just boring. I thought the Rudolph story was the best, actually getting a chuckle or two out of me. And the final story, A Christmas Carol, would have been better kept to half the length.

Just... okay.

Amusing an fun, although a little difficult to read with all of the lengthy "politically correct statements." I think Rudolph the Nasally Empowered Reindeer was my favourite!!
