In A Merry Ol’ Mess, Cody Benjamin invites you to the fireside for a journey through both fact and fiction, encountering the real (and often ridiculous) wonder of the holidays. Weaving together heartfelt essays, poems, short stories and slice-of-life snapshots, this collection begs to be paired with your richest cup of cocoa … or gobbled up as an excuse to avoid your lurking Uncle Filmore. It’s a stocking stuffed with Christmas tales for every taste, stitched together in an honest ode to the season. Cody Benjamin is an author and journalist based in Red Wing, Minnesota. His previous books include the short-story collection I Found You in the Past. He also serves as an NFL staff writer for CBS Sports and can be seen on WCCO (CBS News Minnesota).
