David Sedaris: Santaland Diaries pt 1

[DJBlaskowicz]

The statistics for this are great. There's always a big surge during the Christmas season.

[AnitaLife27]

Ahhhh! NOW it's Christmas! Thanks for posting.

[Flickchick2008]

It just doesn't feel like Christmas until I listen to this every year...

[TheMistermistofeles]

i had to watch this after seeing a performance of this in hollywood starring paolo andino.... just so he wouldn't ruin it for me. no one else can fill those those. andino came off sounding campy, offensive and racist. it was embarrassing.

:49

[cucachoo]

I just applied for this job!! And I did it because I'm a Santaland Diaries fan.

[dxcm9886]

wow it's pretty hard to be an elf. I have to bolster up my resume now darn.

[residentevilnerd]

i read this in class after finishing my final exam early and laughed so loud, i was sent to the office :/

[GOdsire16]

you can be Alcapone in that Voice :D

[xMSxHNx]

NPR plays this every year around Christmastime -- definitely one of the highlights of the year on radio.

[killerkandi133]

why wouldn't dancers wear underwear?

[Kahran042]

@killerkandi133 I've been wondering that since the first time I read this story.

[RoxasMoogle]

If you turn on captions when Sederis says "Full time elf" it translates to "My sexual timeout"

[MathsVlog]

I heard this on the radio and I had to listen to it again. It was just too funny

=Math

[budihollijr]

Does anybody else think he should sell this story to hollywood? I think this would make a funny movie

[TheChristineM]

This man makes my day every time I read or listen to his work.  Genius.

[molloy95]

"a grown man dressed as a taco" love it

[isthereaname2use]

My urine had roaches and stems floating in it. Absolutely priceless.

[TheSaturdaysRemixes]

my dad has this on his sat nav and i've been looking for it for ages do you have the intro? with the ''deck the halls music''

[justjohn2]

I've laughed myself into the holiday spirit every year since David wrote this. It's a Christmas tradition.

[PedoLouie]

Why so many people think this little fairy and his stories on homosexuality are so funny is beyond me. He's a poor writer and not funny in the least.

[Sedaris101]

@PedoLouie does pedo stand for pedophile?

[jrjupton]

my new mission, after only 5 mins is to

a: start it again so i can listen properly

b: get the book

c: listen to it again

[whatzername922007]

God, I love David Sedaris!

[SantaMOD]

that poor son of a bitch lolololololol

[Hanz780]

I saw this is as a monologue presented as part of a 3-part play based off of David Sedaris' work, it was amazing.  His voice makes it hilarious, but i will say the play was better, the actor was hilarious.

[suigetsu88]

macys customer: i could have you fired!

macys elf: i could have you killed!!

[theblowfishes]

It's always better when he reads it.

[Le23aout]

"I know a lot of people who would kill for that little waistline of yours." Too good.

[Cows2Luv]

Sweet, got the book, got the recording. SCORE :D

[Jok3r115]

haha nice, the recording is so much better tho, his sarcasm and tone of voice is just hilarious

[starlightcheese]

I love that they play the song from A Charlie Brown Christmas . . . he sounds like Charlie Brown all grown up.

[ChamelionCircuit]

You're an elf, and you're gonna wear panties like an elf!

[fuzzball516]

ohgod its even better when read by him.

[im4wur]

"The Elfin' Guide" - lol

[tewksbery]

Was about to read this, but his voice is so great.

[orvgg]

Funniest story ever.

[DrunkeyO]

GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS
