It Is Not The Ice Capades, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                       Remember when the Ice Capades would play, each year, at Madison Square Garden, back in the Sixties????????  And those great posters of the leggy women on skates, pointing upward?  How I wanted to be one of those women, and be able to do things like that with my legs.  These days, I thank God for allowing them to just get me out of bed.

                                         Which brings me to "Holidays On Ice," by David Sedaris.  It is so....David Sedaris.  It has two standard favorites, the now classic "Santaland Diaries, and the Dunbar family Christmas letter, where the Vietnamese refugee--or grifter--they take in, comes to the Christmas dinner table, dressed in a stringed bikini, and sits on the oldest son's lap!  Did this give ME some great ideas for Christmas dinner, this year!  Thanks, David!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           I also loved "Dinah, The Christmas Whore," which managed to evoke the spirit of Dickens and still be completely David Sedaris.  It must be a riot at their house.

                                            This is a perfect stocking stuffer, darlings.  It will get people to read, and is not at all complicated.

                                              But don't let the title fool you.  There is no mention at all of Sonja Henie!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                              See what I mean, darlings????????????????????
