Learning to handle them whenever and wherever they appear is not just optional—it's essential.

        Designed as a how-to for handling holiday humbugs, this little book guides readers through the negativity that can ruin what is supposed to be a joyous time of year. Carlson ("Don't Sweat the Small Stuff]And It's All Small Stuff") offers humorous advice on dealing with crazy drivers, rude shoppers, threatening relatives, and more. His message throughout is to lighten up ("expect less, enjoy more"), go the extra mile ("forgive and forget"), and acknowledge that one can't avoid difficult people and situations ("give up and get on with life"). While the continual references to "getting scrooged" can be tiring, this well-written book is easy to browse and contains sound advice. Recommended.
