Twelve Years of Christmas: a.k.a. The Trials and Tribulations of an Overworked Toy Maker (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798584181925)

If you thought 2020 was a terrible year, here's someone who hasn't had a good one in a while. Over the last twelve years, a certain Christmas icon has ranted, raved, and grumbled while still delivering a magical holiday without fail. Join Santa as he fights every misfortune from accidents and bureaucracy to arrest warrants and assassins; all while despairing at the human condition and the disturbing new trends that each year brings. Accompanied by the faithful (if occasionally snide) Rudolph, a slew of fantastically confused elves, and a supporting cast of polar bears, sharks, bureaucrats and other wildlife, each year is a new story. Let's explore it together and find laughter in the thankless task of making Christmas work.Author's note: Since 2008, I've been writing these poems for colleagues, friends, family, and random people who might now regret sharing their email addresses. I wanted to create this illustrated compilation as I believe everyone could use a laugh after this year. My original intention was to find a platform where people could pick up the book for free and then donate to charity if so inclined. Since I couldn't figure out how to do that (Yes, I did perhaps give up too quickly, but then I'm not really that nice of a person), I settled on doing a giveaway around Christmas.If you enjoy the book, are simply in the mood to be kind, or, like me, feel guilty about not doing more this year to help others, here are a few places: https: //www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/donatehttps: //www.icrc.org/en/donatehttps: //inbreakthrough.org/donate/https: //www.amtmindia.org/donate/https: //www.soschildrensvillages.in/dona
