Jonathan Last from The Weekly Standard has served as editor of two fantastic compilation books, The Seven Deadly Virtues and The Dadly Virtues. Now, just in time for the holiday season comes the ultimate Christmas survival guide: The Christmas Virtues.

The Christmas Virtues is a humorous companion for, and guide to, navigating the trials and tribulations of the holiday season. It’s a reminder of how we can embrace the joy, hope, and love of Christmas—of the real Christmas.

The book is full of some of the best and funniest conservative writers around, including:

  • Rob Long’s "The Christmas Spirit: In Defense of Ebenezer Scrooge.”
  • P. J. O’Rourke’s “The Commercialization of Christmas: God Moves (The Merchandise) in a Mysterious Way.”
  • Stephen F. Hayes’ "here Comes Santa Claus: The Wonder of Christmas Morning."
  • Jonah Goldberg’s “The War on Christmas: It’s Real, and It’s Spectacular.”
  • Christopher Buckley’s “Saint Joseph: The Forgotten ‘Father Christmas.’”
  • James Lileks' "Boxing Day and the Christmas Hangover."

The book is highly recommended by me and is available at Amazon and elsewhere. Here's our full chat with Jonathan Last:
