Everyone has received - and usually hasn't appreciated - the typical generic family letter around the holiday season. If only the letters you got were half as hilarious and interesting as what Bill Seaton sent out to friends and relatives, those almost-always boring communiques probably wouldn't have become such a bad rap. A veteran PR executive, Seaton - who perhaps missed his calling and should have been a comedian - has compiled his collection of annual letters in this book. The result is a wry and witty slice of family life. These funny letters recount more domestic details, describing the highlights and lowlights of Seaton family life and phases of his PR career with the zoo and Sea World, in which he brushes shoulders with the biggest celebrities from Dean Martin and Brooke Shields to Henry Winkler and Jimmy Stewart. The author's unique view of life may be a bit skewed, but it's a veritable laugh riot to which everyone can relate. His sense of humour is surpassed only by his sense of the absurd.
