Ho, Ho, Hey! What Just Happened? Loretta Sinclair First edition

Holiday enlightenment from an overworked Santa and his testy crew. This collection of humorous Christmas short stories is cranky, at times obnoxious, and above all funny. With stories like 'Ho, Ho, H. O. A.' - Santa battles it out with his homeowner's association over pets generally considered to be livestock; in 'Home Tweet Home' - a short story written entirely of Twitter updates, you see Santa in a totally different light. 'To Be or To Beano', has the sleigh failing its' smog check due to the noxious fumes from the reindeer. 'P. U. K. E. and C. R. A. P.' mar the holiday season with animal rights protests. Santa is arrested for drunk driving in 'Do You Smell What I Smell?' and he finally ends up in divorce court. 'Kringle vs. Kringle' shows Santa's overwork and job stress leaving Mrs. Clause at home feeling neglected and unwanted. It is a side of the jolly old St. Nick that we have never seen before.
