A delightfully thorny tale of working as Yuletide elf at Macy's.  This holiday merriment by NPR favorite and best selling author David Sedaris tells of a slackers life as he takes out his frustrations on children and parents alike.  The piece ends wtih yet another "Santa" being ushered to the throne, but unlike the lecherous or drunken others who have taken the seat, this one genuinely seems to care about the children, startling our hero into an uncharacteristic moment of holiday cheer.  Hysterical satirical wit and good will prevail.
