The former Onion writers who previously authored Choose Your Own Misery: The Office offer up a yuletide-themed parody of the beloved childhood favorite "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories, only this one is a raunchy grown-up version. You think you're about to have the perfect Christmas sans family as you escape to a tropical resort with a college buddy, but then Tropical Storm Menudo makes landfall and your flight is canceled. Your first decision comes when you call your new girlfriend Lindsi and she invites you to spend Christmas with her family. This is choose your own misery, so of course, all your decisions take you down a path of hilarious holiday hell.
VERDICT Bah! Humbug! An ideal choice for holiday haters and readers who enjoy David Sedaris's hysterically funny take Holidays on Ice.
