Fa la la la la la la la la. Author Erin Dealey has taken the old holiday classic and turned it on its head. In her riotous, raucous rendition of a family meal gone hilariously awry, youâll find food hockey, vegetable sculptures, crashing dishes, and grown-ups wondering what has gone wrong.

This comical parody of the sixteenth century Christmas carol âDeck the Hallsâ begins with the stage-setting phrase, âDeck the Walls with mashed potatoes.â Nevertheless a good time is had by all as the relatives realize in the end what they are thankful for.
