Merry Existential Christmas — James Trivers

  Merry Existential Christmas assuages those of us who bemoan   holiday season.  This short and smart novella is the perfect Christmas story for those who are sophisticated, savvy and grouchy on your list.  This ten chapter tome chronicles Christmas from post World War Two France through the Swinging Sixties to present day at an exclusive rehab in the Malibu mountains.  Every chapter is a story about seeking meaning and hope in one's life during the Christmas season.  It, at times, illuminates as well as entertains.  What is out there for all the over educated cynics to read (besides The Christmas Carol) during the Yuletide season?  The answer, we hope, is right here.
