The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Holidays

Another Christmas present that I dredged up from my closet when I last moved. There are some helpful suggestions in this book but all in all who really gives a hoot? I have never read it through fully but forgive me if my interest declined after reading a list of some of the instructions given on the back cover. It says a lot that there are 80 of them on Amazon.com for $.01. Why does she keep giving me this dreck? Oh yeah, she doesn't really care. And neither do I, bye bye book, hello bookcrossing. ( )

The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Holidays is full of useful information on how to survive the holidays. Need to know how to put out a turkey fire in an oven? It's in there? Need to know how to survive a shopping stampede (aside from not being there in the first place)? It's in there. Is someone stuck in your chimney? Are you planning to go down someone's chimney? Think you might be charged by a reindeer? It's all in there.

For many of the scenarios I found myself thinking, how likely is it that I (or anyone I know) will be in that situation. I mean it hasn't snowed enough around here to ride a one-horse open sleigh, well, ever. But it was a fun read, and there are some useful things. Putting out a turkey fire is useful no matter what is actually in the oven. ( )
