It's Christmas Eve and Santa is ready to deliver presents so kids can be happy. Santa has a helper. Santa's helper has a name and a job description that this book will document with illustrated cartoon art and the specific commitment of a Christmas story that decided not to be careful. Santa's Lil Humper saves Christmas. The Christmas-saving methodology is in the name. The name is on the cover. The cover is available for purchase and subsequent presentation at holiday events where it will generate a specific kind of reaction from every adult in attendance.
This adult parody holiday book takes the Christmas special format... the lovable helper, the holiday emergency, the resolution... and applies it with the vocabulary of a character name that has been selected with complete awareness of what it implies. It is a Christmas book. It is for adults. The holiday cheer is real. The character's name is also real. Both things coexist on the same cover, which is the whole premise, and the premise delivers in exactly the way you expect and yet delivers anyway because the execution is committed.
This Book IS For:- Adults who appreciate holiday content that commits to its character-name premise for the entire run of the story
- Fans of Christmas humor that goes somewhere the Hallmark channel has not gone and will not be going
- Anyone who has needed a holiday book that works for every adult at the table and zero children
- Gift-givers who want the holiday exchange gift that produces the most memorable reaction of the evening
- People who believe Christmas content should operate within established tonal parameters regardless of the audience's age
- Anyone currently coordinating a Christmas pageant who needs materials that can be used in multiple settings
- Readers who feel Santa's workshop should not be expanded to include job titles of this nature
- The elf, who did not choose the name but has made the most of it and saved Christmas, so credit where due
- Holiday white elephant and Dirty Santa... this is the Dirty Santa gift; no further research required
- Office holiday parties where someone decided the gift exchange was going to be memorable this year
- Any holiday gathering of adults where the presence of a book called Santa's Lil Humper on the table generates appropriate festivity
- Gag gifts for anyone whose holiday humor runs toward the end of the range that this book occupies
Holiday gifts are traditionally: wine, candles, tin of cookies, gift card. These are fine gifts. None of them will be discussed at the next holiday gathering when someone says remember last year. This book will be discussed. This book will be the thing someone brings up when explaining why they chose a different venue for the holiday party this year. That is the kind of lasting impact that a tin of cookies cannot achieve regardless of how good the shortbreads are.
Santa's Lil Humper saved Christmas. The book documents how. The how involves the character's name and the job title that name implies. Buy it for someone whose holiday humor requires something in a category that most holiday content doesn't enter. The elf is ready. Christmas is saved. The gift exchange has a clear winner. Deck the halls with whatever this is.
