Christmas is a time of family, stress, love, wanting, resentment and occasional violence. It’s kind of fucked up, but it’s also kind of tradition.
Gifts that bite, accidentally seducing your father-in-law, Santa breaking-and-entering, angry mall elves, death, infidelity… all culminating to a family Christmas dinner that ends in hilarious tragedy.
Merry Fucking Christmas is a collection of six short stories. Moving chronologically through the holiday, each story follows a character who, hopefully, is experiencing a worse holiday than you; disenfranchised by the normally, festive holiday or simply stuck with an annoying family.
Give yourself a break, pick up this book and explore adult humor through bleak circumstances because Christmas is painful, pain can be hilarious and sometimes comedy leads to healing.
Check out more background on how local filmmaker, photographer, author and pretend home-chef Joe Movick came up with the idea for the book here and buy it as a gift for you or someone you love on Amazon.
