About this title

Review:

"One of the best Christmas books ever."--Publishers Weekly

"Outrageous, lively, funny, and wonderful. The Christmas Story shines through with a new brilliance."--Denver Post

"Wiry-tough, tender-hearted, unsentimental, and consistently funny."--The London Sunday Times

"This charming story delivers a fresh perspective on the nativity and is a beautiful reminder that God loves everyone."--Brightly

From the Back Cover:

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.

None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the tale -- the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating -- has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.
