In her final year at home before college, Katie Hirashima, P.K. (Pastor's Kid, for the uninitiated...), has resolved to enjoy the perfect Christmas with her family--a Christmas full of stringed lights, extravagant presents, Nat King Cole CDs, and frothy egg nog. Only one thing stands between Katie and her fantastical aspirations of yuletide bliss: her seven-year-old sister's newest imaginary friend... Jesus Christ. As the Messiah (A.K.A. Mrs. Ezmerelda Nibblebottom) systematically destroys Katie's plans for the greatest Christmas ever, the Hirashimas will be left to pick up the pieces of a tragically hilarious holiday season best forgotten.

Through all her holiday trials and tribulations, will Katie finally learn the true meaning of Christmas?

Probably not.

But she will learn why Walt Whitman and William Shakespeare are burning in the fiery pits of Hell...
