Who, among us, has not known that sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, when, late on Christmas Eve, after the kids are asleep, he is confronted by the two most dreaded phrases found on any box: batteries not included and some assembly required. Or who has not ventured into the forest to "harvest" his own Christmas tree or shopped for the perfect gift or tried to cook the perfect Christmas dinner only to find insurmountable road blocks along the way. "Christmas Tales From Pie Town" is a humorous look at these and other challenges which abound at Christmas time each and every year. You'll even get a glimpse of the annual Christmas tree from your dog's perspective. The stories are recounted by the local, unofficial and fictitious Pie Town historian, Gus Hollern, who has been known to stretch the truth just a bit. You'll find these tales suitable for all ages but especially geared toward grown ups and accordingly very appropriate for those grown ups among you who might need their stockings stuffed.
