Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a Christmas tree attractive? Where do Himalayan Persians, beagles, and hamsters fit into the Christmas scheme? How do pleasant, well-intentioned seasonal gestures such as decorating the house, baking cookies, sending Christmas cards, purchasing gifts, giving parties, and going to events become stress-inducing obligations? In Have Yourself a Hamster Little Christmas, author Sarah Shell Teague presents a collection of essays that describes the ups and downs of what can be a most hectic holiday season. From the activity at Grand Central Station in Manhattan, in the solitude of the Grand Teton National Forest, and most of all at her home in South Arkansas, Teague describes familiar yet comical aspects of the Christmas season. In her holiday mishaps, Teague relates how she nearly comes to blows with a Christmas tree farmer, an imaginary mountain lion, and a crowd intent on reveling at the annual parade. With humor, sensitivity, and faith, the stories in Have Yourself a Hamster Little Christmas provide the antidote for too much Christmas pressure and stress.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life returns with a festive Shopaholic adventure filled with holiday cheer and unexpected gifts. “Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover ’Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is embracing it, returning from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby and working with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze’s stately home. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness—even if that only means listening to a meditation tape while hunting down online bargains. But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: Her parents hosting, carols playing on repeat, her mother pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors coming ’round for sherry in their terrible holiday sweaters. Things are looking cheerier than ever, until Becky’s parents announce they’re moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch—unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocados—and ask Becky if she’ll host this year. What could possibly go wrong? Becky’s sister demands a vegan turkey, her husband insists that he just wants aftershave (again), and little Minnie needs a very specific picnic hamper: Surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend–turned–rock star and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear. But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her bighearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky wonders if chaos will ensue, or if she’ll manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas after all.
