abstract
  • The book's title character and protagonist, who lives in an ordinary house in what appears to be a provincial English town, decides that he needs to take a vacation. He travels to France, Scotland and Las Vegas, Nevada. He finds that each destination has its advantages and disadvantages. Father Christmas is keen to blend in wherever he goes and to pass incognito. He leaves each of his three vacation destinations shortly after a child recognizes him. In common with Briggs' previous book about Father Christmas, there is very little written dialog in Father Christmas Goes on Holiday. Furthermore, a significant amount of the dialog which is included is in French without any translations or explanations. The story is conveyed mainly through the medium of pictures. Some parents may be shocked by the book's depiction of Father Christmas drinking, smoking, gambling, cussing, enjoying the company of attractive young women and having to use a toilet.
