The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas

By: James Patterson

3.85

Format: 288 pages, Hardcover

Move over, Dickens—America’s favorite storyteller has written a modern Christmas story for the ages…

"In fact, all ten aristocrats were cleaning like the revolution had happened and they were desperate to blend in with the masses."

-James Patterson, The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas

"We'll be fine even if we miss you every millisecond of every moment of every hour of every day. You will always be in our hearts."

-James Patterson, The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas

"The next day was Christmas Eve. In some countries, Christmas Eve is a bigger celebration than Christmas Day. In Canada, Sweden, and Denmark, families open their presents on Christmas Eve. In Italy, they have the Feast of Seven Fishes, during which they eat a lot of fish. Seven, I'd imagine. The French delight in making Buche de Noel, which is a sponge cake frosted and decorated to look exactly like a log. It's a mystery why a dessert masquerading as the limb of a tree would be delightful and appetizing, but they seem to like it. In Russia, on Christmas Eve, they make Kutya, a gloopy mixture of grains, nuts, seeds and honey that is eaten from a communal bowl as a display of unity and a blatant disregard for hygiene. In China, Christmas Eve is the biggest shopping day of the year and they hand each other apples wrapped in cellophane."
