It's touching and hilarious and, if you're anywhere near as old as I am, it will remind you of your childhood. The central feature of the book is a church Christmas pageant. There's also a series of pranks by the teens from neighboring churches. The next night the Catholics put a hat and a tie and sunglasses on our Joseph, so he looked like this FBI agent investigating the baby Jesus. Also, they put a football helmet on one of our manger cows.
