Unhinged Holiday Stories

De: Danny Pellegrino

Narrado por: Danny Pellegrino

From the New York Times bestselling author and host of the Everything Iconic podcast comes a collection of hilarious and heartfelt family stories from the funniest man in Solon, Ohio

For many families, the holiday season is—in a word—unhinged. In no family is that more true than in Danny Pellegrino’s, beloved podcast host of Everything Iconic and bestselling author. Inappropriately improvised monologues at the children's Christmas pageant, presents that land someone in the emergency room, or just sitting on the absolute roller coaster that is a Hallmark movie marathon, the holidays are a strange and magical time in the Pellegrino household. And nobody knows this better than Danny.

Following his New York Times bestselling memoir How Do I Un-Remember This?, Danny takes his listeners on another nostalgic trip to the '90s and 2000s with a collection of holiday stories that are heartfelt, hilarious, and (unfortunately) true. Whether you spend your holidays baking with your chaotically stressed-out mom (Hi, Linda), binge watching Christmas Vacation until you can quote every line, or drooling over the NSYNC Christmas special, this collection of nostalgic holiday stories will put you in the holiday spirit and reminisce about your own holiday memories—the good, the bad, and the cringeworthy.

Perfection!

Danny does it again! His stories brought me joy, laughter and tears and as a regular listener to his podcast I felt like I was part of some inside jokes throughout. The perfect listen if you are in a funk and need something to brighten your day!

Holiday stories with heart

Danny is one of my favorite podcasters. I listened to his first book, How Do I Unremember This, and loved it so much. This book is no exception, his wit and charm and genuine true Obsession with the holidays shines through in every story. He loves his family deeply and that also shines through, even in some tougher moments in his life which he bravely bares to us all. I laughed out loud, I cried. It was mostly funny but some stories just hit me, especially about missing loved ones and living apart from your family. I can’t recommend this enough for a fun listen and also some beautifully considered depth. Thank you, Dannny! (Shout out to Matt for the extra “n”) 😆

Will read it yearly!

This will be read annually right after DS’ Holidays on Ice, an instant classic. Brava, DP!

Everything I needed this holiday season

This book is everything I needed this holiday season! I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more!

Loved every bit!

As a northeast Ohio girl; this book as well as his previous book brought me back in time. His vivid imagery and comical perspective was a delight for me. Highly recommend. Loved every bit.

A Great Holiday Read

Got this book to listen to to get into the holiday spirit. It does just that and is definitely an enjoyable listen! The story about Danny catching a ride home for the holidays was definitely my favorite unhinged story.

Danny is the GOAT!

I love Danny’s podcast so I knew I had to listen to the book.

It was great, relatable and made me think of so many memories!

Sweet and funny

Danny always makes you laugh. He’s so charming, witty, and funny. This was a fun, vulnerable, and light- hearted book.

Heartfelt Funny Feel Good all year long

a must read or listen so much heart and humor perfectly capture the happy tears of the holidays and beyond!!

HILARIOUS

This book will make you laugh, possibly cry, but most of all - reflect on your relationship with the holidays. Danny is hilarious, heartfelt, and such a great storyteller.

There’s a story in this book about friendship that I loved so much that I had to text my best friend & tell her I missed her. I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
