Uncle John does Christmas again. Like the other one on Christmas this answers your burning questions about Christmas. The problem would be not enough about Christmas for a second book, but trust me there is. My favorite parts were the quizzes, quotes and jokes about Christmas. So get a copy and get ready for that season of joy and nightmare called Christmas.

Sure it's nearly summer, but I needed something fun and lighthearted to read. This book did not disappoint. Gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings I needed.

Typical Uncle John’s Bathroom reader. Full of interesting facts and tidbits.

Someone left this book at my house for a specific (but secret) purpose. I was not feeling well the other day and needed something mindless to read, so decided to take advantage of its presence in the house. It was nice because of all the short bits that I could wake up and read a few and go back to sleep and not lose any narrative thread. Some of the corny jokes weren't bad, the stories of people who give were heartwarming and the ones of those who take were stomach-turning, and the information about various Christmas songs -- including all the famous and beloved classics written by Jewish guys -- was fun.

Like all of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader books, this book was a quick, fun read with interesting facts and article. I'd recommend any in this series. It's great for picking up little nuggets of information.

Not one of my favorite UJBRB! I didn't find this one particularly inviting and upbeat.

I just bought this for a 9 year old boy. It's filled with Christmas facts, wacky stories, historical Christmas stuff and even a few corny jokes.
