Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Only one book will do when St. Nick’s on the go: the new Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Christmas Collection. Stuffed like a Christmas goose, this book is packed with fun facts and merry myths about Santa himself, the tradition of Christmas stockings, the Red Nosed Reindeer’s original name (Rollo!), and where St. Nicholas’s fingers are on display (Antalya, Turkey). Those seeking relief from endless holiday festivities can revel in tales of rampaging Santas, the myth of “No assembly required,” Christmas disasters, and lutefisk. Articles include Why Do They Spell It X-mas?, Christmas World Records, Best Ways to Keep Your Christmas Politically Correct, Celebrity Christmas Present Wish List, and more.

If you love Christmas and the Uncle John's Bathroom Reader series, or are just a fan of general knowledge and/or mindless trivia...this book is a must-have! You gotta love the hardcover!

The "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" series, (to give it its full name) are usually large volumes with interesting trivia. The chapters are designed to be read out of sequence, or certainly from cover to cover. Some of the series frankly stretch the premise quite a bit-this one definitely doesn't, and is probably THE best if not one of the best books in the series. In fact, one could say, and I will, one of the best "Christmas Fact" books in print. The series concentrates on popular culture, and that seems to be the emphasis in this book: Hot toys from the 70s-90s, Seinfeld-yup Festivus is in here etc. Since what most Americans anyway consider Christmas "traditions" are in fact only 100 years old or less-this isn't too far off the mark.
This book weighs in at just under 200 pages, one of the smallest of the series, making it ideal to fit in a stocking. A great gift idea for just about anyone. Recommended.

I enjoyed reading this book-I did learn a few amazing facts that I did not know, although a couple of the pieces were a bit ambiguously written.
A fun read, would recommend it for your guest bathroom during the holidays.

I got this book as a gift last year. It makes a great stocking stuffer, especially to those familiar with the series. The Bathroom Readers are well known for lots of useless yet fascinating trivia, grouped into short segments (for obvious reasons). This book on Christmas is shorter than most and, at 192 pages, goes pretty fast. It does, however, provide tons of background information on the holiday and everything associated with it. Anybody who likes useless trivia will love this book, and you certainly will not hate it. Four out of five stars.

Fans of the Bathroom Reader series know what to expect, entertaining factoids filled with nuggets of learning and several chuckles. This book follows the impossibly high standards of all the other books in the series. It is filled with tons of trivia on everything Christmas from Santa Claus to Rudolph to the First Christmas and more. Ever wonder where Egg Nog came from or why Christmas is on December 25? These questions and many others are answered. This book should become part of your holiday decorations so that others will know why we celebrate Christmas in the manner we do!
