Publisher's Synopsis
You may not share Nicholas Benjamin's sense of humour. He doesn't mind that. He is not very witty after all, just mildy annoyed. However, you may share the dismay he feels towards all things Christmas. This book is the definitive double-decalogue of what you should avoid this Christmas, namely Christmas itself for twenty clear reasons. Whether Christian or atheist, sociable or recluse, Nicholas Benjamin has got you covered. He would not write any of this, were his wisdom not universally applicable. Just read and see... Yes, at times the author resorts to plain insult towards the entire population of the planet and mainly towards you, the reader. But this is only a literary device which serves a higher cause. The true argument put forth is that your happiness need not be sabotaged for a whole monthat the end of the calendar year, which is precisely what is happening every December. In other words "20 reasons to avoid Christmas" is a manual to reclaiming your individual freedoms. A political manifesto for the oppressed masses. The bible of a new political movement, hopefully. Perhaps the sacred scripture of a new religion. A fine message to life in space. Who knows? Nicholas Benjamin doesn't. He doesn't have a clue....
