Jason Furman's Reviews > A Very Scalzi Christmas

Almost literally trifles, I started out listening to this short audiobook with my children but they tired of it so I ended up finishing it myself. This seems to be a collection of occasional pieces that Scalzi wrote on his blog (?) for various Christmases. Many of them are amusing, subjecting Christmas to a rational modern perspective (e.g., an interview with Santa's lawyer about the importance of liability protection or with the Christmas Bunny who bought the franchise with exclusive rights for Christmas from the Easter Bunny). Some are slightly longer stories (e.g., Christmas comes in July and the military gets to work figuring out why and whether it is a threat to the country). And at least one was a poem. I didn't like it as much as I liked the similarly funny, short and uneven Miniatures: The Very Short Fiction of John Scalzi, but I would still re-up my comment from my review of that volume: "If there was another volume I would listen to it as well.
