I wish I could say I could recommend this book this year, as it was enjoyable and while I thoroughly enjoy Gudetama's presence. In a year like this, it's hard to recommend a dose of more pessimism to people. This book left me wanting to "get back to normal" even as someone who doesn't enjoy the holiday.

But once we get back to that type of place, where we are less worried about a pandemic and more worried about our in-laws showing up at our door un-invited, I would definitely recommend this book for many smiles and at least a couple of good laughs.
