The Italian American Christmas Story: Aah You Stupid or Sometin'?
Pour yourself some eggnog or maybe a little Chianti and get ready for a raucous ride in this hilarious recounting of Christmas from a child's perspective growing up in an Italian American family. You'll laugh out loud at the antics of notorious uncles, overbearing aunts, and boisterous cousins, not to mention a surly pragmatic mom and a dad who could be an alien.
Valentino Peccati is a good kid who seems to always be in trouble. But his main concern is not school or his parents or his brothers—it's Santa. Will Santa forgive him for his schoolyard pranks or his knack for fooling his teacher? Is Santa even real? That is the question foremost in his young mind; that's what 11-year-old Val intends to find out. And he has come up with a way to prove it, despite the ambiguous advice of an imaginary uncle.
In this delightful coming of age story, Santa's coat finally brings Val to draw his final conclusion about whether or not Santa is real, and about the wonders that occur all year long, not just at Christmastime.
The Italian American Christmas Story will have you laughing, shaking your head, and remembering your own family's crazy escapades. Whether you're Italian or not, there's something here for anyone who has ever been part of a big family. It's a story for all time—of mayhem and miracles--for both children and adults.
