America Has Spoken: Nuns Having Fun Is Recession Proof!

The Nuns Having Fun Calendar 2009 is well on its way to becoming a bestseller for the fifth straight year. Why? It's funny, it's tender, and it is a reasonable price for a great gift that gives 12 months long. The paperback book of best of the Nuns Having Fun Calendars called Nuns Having Fun (great title huh?) is also climbing the bestseller list and may take its place along with Growing Up Catholic the 25 year in print New York Times Bestseller by the same writers.

Don't fear the recession! The price is right for a stocking stuffer or office gift or just for someone you like (they don't have to know it didn't cost you an arm and a leg or a rapped knuckle.)

Nobody Is Getting Anything From Santa Claus This Christmas

We at Nuns Having Fun are well aware of the crunch everyone is feeling as the economy grinds to a shuddering halt.

Change from a twenty! Lots of change. Check out the very low price of intra-family peace at Amazon or your favorite independent bookseller.

Enjoy that moment when your extended family opens their gift and says: "I didn't know they were doing so well!"
