Have a Sedaris Christmas!

As the madness of the holidays crests and splashes over you and your family, there is always one place in which you can take refuge - literature. And who better to provide perspective in the jingle bell craziness of the Christmas season than David Sedaris?

My favorite radio program, This American Life, graciously provides access to their audio archives on www.thislife.org. Here are links to a couple of Christmas Real Audio gems that feature David Sedaris, a regular contributer to the program:

www.thislife.org/ra/47.ram - Includes David Sedaris's "The Santaland Diaries"
www.thislife.org/ra/201.ram - Sedaris's hilarious Christmas story, "6 to 8 Black Men"

Happy Holidays!
