A snarky behind the tinsel look at Christmas, with biting wit and bawdy irreverence, David Sedaris' Santaland Diaries reveal what it’s really like to work for jolly old St. Nick during the most wonderful time of the year.

Join RLTP for the Yuletide tradition made infamous from its annual rotation on NPR’s “This American Life.” Out of work, a snarky NYC lay-about, decides to pursue new career options as a Macy’s elf during the holiday crunch. At first subject to only a series of humiliations, Crumpet the Elf soon becomes battle-weary (and only slightly bitter) as the hoards of sticky children and their harried parents begin pouring through Santa’s workshop. In a series of hilarious vignettes, Crumpet takes us on a journey of consumerist customers, schizoid Santas, cheeky children, Vomit Corners, eccentric elves, and more, as he skewers our sentimental love of all things Christmas.
