Book Description: 'Nothing captures the magic of Christmas like the drooling face of a child and a cheap ass little fake tree.' <I>An Old Fashioned Christmas</i><P>In the tradition of <I>Holidays on Ice</i> and <I>Bad Santa</i>, Patrick Regan counters saccharine seasonal sentiment with a dose of holiday noir.<P>Remember Christmases of old? Simpler times, when four year old orphans were used for market research and Santa could call a pretty elf 'Sweet Cheeks' and not get slapped with a sexual harassment suit?<P>In <I>An Old Fashioned Christmas</i>, author Patrick Regan collects images from the golden days of Christmas and pairs them with wryly sardonic captions to offer a reminder of what Christmas is really all about namely, 'hobos, orphans, boozed up Santas, pill popping housewives, and the shattered dreams of adorable children.'<P> Fans of Regan's The Book of Bad Habits will take twisted delight in his skewering of the most cherished (and overstuffed) holiday of all. The 1940s, '50s, and '60s vintage photos are odd enough on their own, but when Regan's caustic captions start flying, no tradition is safe from mockery.<P>Christmas just ain't what it used to be, and judging from the subversive gems in this more naughty than nice book, we should all be extremely grateful for that.
