Daniel Blythe 
I Hate Christmas 
A Manifesto for the Modern-day Scrooge

Does the sight of a house festooned in glowing coloured bulbs and a huge illuminated reindeer bring you out in a cold sweat? Or the does thought of eating turkey for days and days upon end make you groan inwardly? And what of the adorable little carol singers – does their out-of-tune wailing and screeching set your teeth on edge? And the oh-so-annoying Christmas albums constantly on play in every crowded shop you visit.the jumper-knitting relatives pouting to be kissed.the freezing, dark mornings that make you wish you could stay under the duvet forever.
If all these things make you want to either jump aboard the next plane to Timbuktu or stick your head in the oven along with the roast tatties, then this is the must-have survival book for you. Find comfort in the curmudgeonly anti-Christmas comments. Laugh at the ludicrous festive facts. And pity those about you that are taken in by the silly-season madness!

Über den Autor

DANIEL BLYTHE was born in Maidstone in 1969. The first single he will admit to buying was Souvenir by OMD, although the first single he actually bought was Making Your Mind Up by Bucks Fizz. Daniel currently lives in Yorkshire with his wife and small, noisy but loveable daughter. He can often be found wandering the hills of the Peak District, musing on such life-affirming questions as how Heaven 17 got their name, which was the best Transvision Vamp album and who was really the most fanciable one out of Bananarama. He is also the author of two acclaimed novels, The Cut and Losing Faith.
