The Stupidest Angel | 
1. Elf, easily. Muppet Christmas Carol and The Bishop's Wife are runners-up. Robin Robin (Netflix) and The Happiest Season (Hulu) are recent favorites.
2. All I Want For Christmas is the best of the best of the world.

1. (Movie) I think there was a similar question recently in another post, so as not to repeat, I'll pick something more recently and say Game Night (2018) with Jason Bateman and Rachael McAdams. Highly underrated!
2. (TV) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
3. (Book) First one that comes to mind is The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore

pickChristopher Moore's books are just plain Fun 😁
pickA funny tale about an angel who comes to Pine Cove to grant a child a Christmas wish. The angel messes up the wish and things get out of control. The characters we meet are all a bit quirky, kind (most of them) and funny. Overall an enjoyable read.
Be warned - no issues are treated seriously/realistically by Moore -

Make a great day everyone 🙂
Starting this today. I could stand a little #ChristmasInJuly since I've wanted to read this book for Yearssssss 🎄
Love, love, love the Friends of Pikes Peak Library District!
I've been looking for this book since I first read *Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend* in 2008. I was aimlessly scrolling through FB when I came across their post with a link to the web bookstore. I figured why not, and the third book that came up was this--Score!! 😁💃🏻😁
pickCheck out my Youtube review for "The Stupidist Angel" by Christopher Moore.

#WinterReadathonDailyChallenge Todays prompt was post something that made you laugh. This audiobook had me giggling to myself in a corner like a madwoman. It‘s a ridiculous story, about a child that gets an angels Xmas wish & ends up creating zombies. But it‘s the whole thing that shines, the place, the characters. I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook, read by a newscaster, the juxtaposition between his voice & the ridiculousness going on is just👌
Christmas crept into Pine Cove like a creeping Christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe.
#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When a bizarre stranger traipses into Pine Cove, odd things happen in the tiny Christmas town. Raziel, indeed The Stupidest Angel, makes a hilarious mistake and chaos ensues. A fun December #bookclub pick! Who needs a cozy romance when you can have pure Yuletide absurdity?
Time for an annual holiday read! This book is deftly clever, darkly hilarious, and an old favourite of mine😊🎅🏼
#christmas2022
pickA mediocre angel stops by to perform a Christmas miracle and ends up raising a bunch of zombies to wreak havoc on an unassuming small town. Just enough of a creep factor to be horror but so much fun! Happy to finish this as my first book of 2022!
Catching up on this absolutely hysterical book!! Christmas was so busy and then I took the covid fall after all this time so quarantine is time to catch up!
so-soThis book started out strong for me and had me interested and laughing as Moore describes this small town and its bizarre residents and Christmas traditions.
It all kinda fell apart at the end though and turned into a hot mess.
pickAn entertaining holiday read in true Christopher Moore fashion. #WinterGames2020 #TeamReadNosedReindeer #BookSpinBingo #DashingDecember #ShutdownReadathon +41 pts
My life has been all about chronic fatigue recently, but at least my Kindle keeps me company during recharge moments. Stopping at a Tim Hortons is a plus, too. #christmas #holiday #kindle #ebook #ereader
1. Ok, The Stupidest Angel may not be quite old enough to be considered a classic, but I have been listening to it every holiday season for so long it seems classic to me.
2. That is a tough one, but one of my all time favorites is that weird dentist elf from the movie Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I was recently reminded of him by this very accurate Honest Trailer: https://youtu.be/AP2NzW2k95o

so-soPeople have recommended Christopher Moore to me for years and I finally read one of his books. One of my coworkers recommended it to me.
I can definitely see his appeal. I think there were a couple of funny posts but I don't know that it's for me.
I'll read another one to be sure.
pick🎧 So. I have no idea why I‘m reading this during Spooktober. Oh wait, “terror”? I‘ve had this little hardcover book forever. I just couldn‘t get into it. Then there was a Hoopla audio loan and I listened as I was doing laundry today. 😁😆😆😆😂😂🤣Well it‘s lowbrow, breaks the 4th wall with the narrator and tons of thinly veiled sexual innuendo (not really veiled at all). Watch out for ... everything? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Listened to the tagged while finishing up another puzzle. Usually listen to it at Christmas, but felt like a good time for some reason. Enjoying it as always. 😊
pickJust updating to say I finished this one, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think that might be a new #ChristmasTradition in the making!
#WinterGames #TeamFestivus
Currently finishing up this #HolidayRead for the #24B42020 readathon. I‘m enjoying all the ridiculousness so far!
#WinterGames #TeamFestivus
pickHilarious book with everything you need for the holidays - an accidental murder, a B movie star, a talking fruit bat, an incredibly stupid angel, and a stoned constable. Highly recommend!! #WinterGames #SlayBells #HolidayRead 20 pts @MidnightBookGirl @StayCurious @Clwojick
I am not feeling Christmasy at all. Hopefully, Christopher Moore's heartwarming classic of XMAS terror will hit the spot.
so-soJust finished this audio, and definitely not your typical #HolidayRead. Lots of sex/gender based jokes that is dating the writing quickly, but some was fun. Picture is my favorite chapter - made me laugh out loud while driving! #WinterGames #TeamNutcracker
#festivephotochallenge #wintergames #teamfozziwig @BarkingMadRun @Clwojick @StayCurious
Res and green spines & a day of shopping.
Thinking this might be my “adult” #holidayread for #wintergames #teamnutcracker
I remember this book having a funny scene in a #graveyard.

Congratulations @Megabooks on reaching this Litsy milestone! Summer in Australia means Christmas & my favourite Xmas read is The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore & it has to be the audiobook which is hysterically funny. The angel Raziel is sent to Pine Cove to grant a childs Xmas wish. The kid has witnessed what he thinks is Santa being murdered so Raziel ends up resurrecting an entire graveyard of zombies that attack during Xmas Mass. #25Etsy

"A heartwarming tale of Christmas terror".....sounds about right for this month's first holiday read.
pickIf you‘re looking for a light, fast paced, completely irreverent and silly Christmas story, this one‘s for you. Especially if you like your characters a little crazy with a side of ridiculousness. Typical Christopher Moore.
Thank you for these two books, @AmyG - the tagged one is on my list to read this holiday!
And thank you @Susannah - I‘ve been eyeing the Stevie Nicks biography for awhile!
#jb #kindlitsy
Just a few pages and a bit of snuggle time before work 😸💜. This book is hilarious. Only Christopher Moore would bring Zombies to a Christmas story! Or Tim Burton I guess. 🧟♀️🎄🦇
#Froedrick #CatsOfLitsy
Ok, this is the best author‘s warning ever! My grandmother would have enjoyed this! I don‘t know about yours...
When Froedrick isn‘t getting attention, he‘s willing to go to any length to distract me from whatever I‘m doing. I was sitting on the floor opening yesterday‘s Xmas cards... he wanted supper. Not comfortable. Good thing we love him!
I‘m starting The Stupidest Angel this morning as he sleeps in my lap. I‘ve been looking forward to this book! Thanks @mcipher !
🌲Oof, I have so many books on my TBR that I want, lol. Let‘s see... we‘ll say Americanah, I‘ll Be Gone in the Dark, and Norse Mythology.
🌲 Candy canes!
🌲 Not yet, but probably this weekend 😊
🌲The one tagged always makes me laugh, lol.
🌲 We have an Elf on the Shelf, but no other established traditions yet. I usually end up working either Christmas Eve or Day so... 🤷🏾♀️

#7favesin7days Day 4
#GetMovin #day5 #LetsGetRidiculous It‘s Xmas & the angel Raziel has finally been given a task, to find a child & grant their Xmas wish. A bit short of brains, he causes a zombie invasion in the town of Pine Cove & the only people to fight it are a pot smoking sheriff, his schizophrenic wife whose alter ego, the Warrior Babe Of The Outlands has taken over due to stopping her meds to buy her husband a bong for Xmas & a DEA pilot with a talking bat🦇
