The Jolliest Bunch: Unhinged Holiday Stories

Written by Danny Pellegrino

Narrated by Danny Pellegrino

The holidays are always merry, but the mishaps shine bright.

For many families, the holiday season is—quite frankly—unhinged. Whether that involves inappropriately improvised monologues at the children’s Christmas pageant, gifts that land someone in the emergency room, or just sitting through the emotional rollercoaster of a Hallmark movie marathon,
the holidays are a chaotic and magical time. And nobody knows this better than Danny Pellegrino.

For Danny, the holidays are always accompanied by both merriment and mayhem.

And like the gay Ghost of Christmas Past, he’s here to take you on a nostalgic trip through his most festive memories in a collection of stories that are heartfelt, hilarious, and (unfortunately) true.

So grab your favorite winter beverage, snuggle up by the crackling fireplace, and turn up the holiday tunes from the pop diva of your choosing. The Jolliest Bunch is a healthy dose of holiday cheer to prepare you for the frenzied season ahead and remind you of the moments that make all the chaos worth it.

Reviews for The Jolliest Bunch

[Sandra Turner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was the perfect holiday book, a delicious combo of naughty and nice! I literally laughed out loud when I wasn't tearing up - and it just so happens I finished it on New Year's Eve (when you read it, you'll know why that's pretty cool). The tradeoff of not reading the print version with its illustrations is hearing it read by the author. Love it...please write more, Danny!
