the best christmas pageant ever
the herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world . they lie steal smoke cigars swear and hit little kids . so no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one sunday and decides to take over the annual christmas pageant . none of the herdmans has ever heard the christmas story before . their interpretation of the talethe wise men are a bunch of dirty spies and herod needs a good beatinghas a lot of people up in arms . but it will make this years pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and just possibly the best one ever . wiry tough tender hearted unsentimental and consistently funny . the london sunday times the book is outrageous lively funny and wonderful . the christmas story takes on a strangely moving depth of meaning and shines through with a new brilliance . denver post
