This book's title is a bit of a misnomer as it's not really a guide per se (at least not in the sense of, say, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Holidays). Rather, it's an anthology of essays from 42 atheists divided into six sections: stories, science, how to, philosophy, arts, and events. These categories are a bit misleading. Yes, some of the essays seem connected to their category. But for the most parts the essays are simply stories (fiction and non-fiction) or rants somehow tied in with Christmas. This relation could be very direct (such as Emery Emery's story on how it sucks to have a birthday on December 25) or not even apparent (such as Charlie Brooker's essay of whether God would have a sense of humor). As you can imagine, with 42 different authors from all sorts of professions, the style varies considerably as well as the quality (at least for me). I found them to range anywhere from mildly interesting to uproariously funny. It is for this reason that this book didn't really stand out for me. It's just too hodgepodge-y to enjoy thoroughly. Aside from the fact that all the authors are atheists, there's not really any thread that ties them all together (I would also say Christmas, but as I stated earlier, some of the essays don't even draw on that). I guess one great quality about this, however, is that most theists could also enjoy this book. A lot of the grievances in here are things that, at least in my experience, also annoy them: the outrageously early time that Christmas seems to begin now, the excessive commercialism, sappy Christmas music, family dinners, etc. Sure, they may be taken aback by the occasional jab at believers here and there but I think the ones that can take a joke will find some amusement in this collection.
