Book Details
Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate, Holidays, Special Occasions and Other Times Our Celebrations Get Out of Hand by Dorothy Rosby
Published by Unhinged Press on 10/03/2022
Genres: Essays, Humorous
Format: eBook, Large Print Paperback
Pages: 258
Source: iRead Book Tours, Kindle UnlimitedChristmas comes but once a year; chaos never ends!
Happy Halloween, Merry Christmas, and joyful Lumpy Rug Day. We didn’t make that up. Lumpy Rug Day is celebrated every May 3, though “celebrated” might be too strong a word. It’s the American way to create a celebration for everything, then turn it into a chore or worse, a nightmare.
’Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate is a collection of humorous essays about holidays, special occasions, and other times our celebrations make us feel not-so-celebratory. It’s understanding for those who think Christmas form letters can be honest—or they can be interesting.
And it’s empathy for anyone who’s ever gotten poison ivy during Nude Recreation Week or eaten all their Halloween candy and had to hand out instant oatmeal packets to their trick-or-treaters.

My thoughts on ‘Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate
I love good sarcasm and Dorothy Rosby is the best!
From the opening essay to the very end, I smiled, chuckled, and laughed out loud.
As someone who always has unrealistic expectations for all holidays, it’s like the author was speaking directly to me. I highlighted so many quotes throughout the book. Maybe I should print them off and include one in each Christmas card this year. They would be the real me…not the sappy expressions you normally find in holiday cards!
If you would like to lighten up your mood during any holiday, read a few essays from ‘Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate. Dorothy Rosby is my new “Queen of Snark!”
I can give the book no higher recommendation than to say I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
I’ve also reviewed:
Alexa’s a Spy and Other Things to Be Ticked off About by Dorothy Rosby is a low-brow look at high-minded living, a good-natured rant about the challenges we face and the annoyances we deal with.
