'A Modern American Christmas' is not a typical Christmas Story. It is more in the genre of the Chevy Chase movies or Dave Barry's story. Though it is funny and somewhat irreverent, it is also not meant to be disrespectful. The story-line is framed in Christmas traditions and serious ethical and moral issues of the times. It is a humorous look at how over-the-top things can become in modern American Society. It does poke fun at consumerism to the extreme, double-standards, keeping up appearances and personalities who don't 'do what they say' or 'don't say what they do!' The story is that of a y...
'A Modern American Christmas' is not a typical Christmas Story. It is more in the genre of the Chevy Chase movies or Dave Barry's story. Though it is funny and somewhat irreverent, it is also not meant to be disrespectful. The story-line is framed in Christmas traditions and serious ethical and moral issues of the times. It is a humorous look at how over-the-top things can become in modern American Society. It does poke fun at consumerism to the extreme, double-standards, keeping up appearances and personalities who don't 'do what they say' or 'don't say what they do!' The story is that of a young college woman home for the holidays only to discover that the beloved family home is in the foreclosure process. The 'squatters/renters' who have been living there until the actual owners (her family) can return for the one last 'Spectacularly Sensational and Shiny' Christmas in the home are quite the characters. The dialogue is funny and fast and somewhat biting. There is some mystery, some romance, a little sex and an interesting cast of personalities: a woman who rescues laughing hyenas; an outrageously expensive veterinarian who treats the heroine's beloved cat; a college dean with more hunting trophies on her wall than scholarly achievements; a brother gone missing only to return as a monk. Anyone who feels his or her Christmas or any holiday was not all it could or should have been will realize as they read this story, 'they are not alone!'
