Author Description

The secret story of the Christmas holiday is told in fragments. The only worthwhile party game comes in piecing the fragments together. The task is too complicated for any one celebrant. But through the connective power of the eggnog, a group intelligence emerges to assemble the pieces, define (if not wholly solve) the mysteries, and, in the process, tell and retell the story. Ultimately, celebrants come to own the secret story of Christmas, in ways that carols, poems, movies, and television specials can't match.
