A warm, irreverent Christmas memoir for everyone who's ever survived a family holiday and lived to laugh about it.

Pull up a chair and grab yourself a cocktail-or a box of wine, no judgment-and meet the Lettieris. One December night, while babysitting, Danny learned from a five-year-old that Santa had died of pneumonia. What do you say to that? At twelve, Danny already knew: In his family, the holidays rarely went according to plan.

Ho Ho, OH NO!: Twelve True Stories of Tinsel, Bedlam & Unconditional Love is a holiday humor memoir that unwraps twelve gloriously imperfect stories, one for each day of Christmas. Think David Sedaris's Holidays on Ice-but with more ornaments and a bottomless love for the season. So, meet the family: Danny's mother, who transformed their dilapidated home into a Winter Wonderland with strategically placed wreaths and bows. His Aunt Connie, who gifted cologne, thoughtfully lifted from a department store. His father, whose aim at bonding backfired during a deer-hunting excursion. And all the other relatives who knew that somehow, through the mayhem, holiday magic would keep showing up anyway.

Now a Christmas maximalist with a garage full of Yuletide décor that has its own zip code, Danny captures the festivity, the absurdity, and the occasional profanity of the season with the warmth of someone who has never once stopped believing.

Ho Ho, OH NO! is a charmingly illustrated gift for anyone exhausted by Instagram-perfect holidays. It's for the queer kids who grew up loving Christmas more than anyone else in the room. It's for everyone who knows the best memories are the ones that went sideways. Consider it the perfect gift-for everyone you love, and most definitely for yourself. Have yourself a very merry Christmas, chaos and all.

Perfect for:

  • Readers who laugh through the holidays (and cry a little too)
  • Anyone who grew up believing Christmas could fix everything
  • Fans of David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs who want their holiday chaos served with a side of tinsel

About the Author
Lettieri, Danny: - Danny Lettieri is a storyteller, illustrator, and unapologetic Christmas maximalist. Raised in a loud, loving Italian American family in upstate New York, he learned early that the best holiday memories usually involve a little chaos and a lot of heart. Now based in San Francisco with his husband Vance and a garage full of Yuletide décor, Danny turns real-life misadventures into stories that are as funny as they are tender. His debut collection, Ho Ho, OH NO!, is a love letter to perfectly imperfect holidays and the families who make them unforgettable.
