What in the salty seas could be more important than presents at Christmas time? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Tis’ Christmas time on Mystical Isle and just like the fat bastard in red, I’ve made a list and now I shall check it… electronics on Black Friday. Check.
Cover each palm tree in lights even though the Mermaids insist they look phallic. Check. By the way, what does phallic mean? Never mind. Check.
Moving on.
Weave a Christmas tale during family story time on the beach, have a family portrait made in the special sweaters I pilfered, and write a letter to Santa. I mean, fat bastard… Check.
Planning activities that may end in bloodshed. Check. That’s what I call a yuletide win, so check-check.
The Mermaids have baked lovely Christmas cookies that will go wonderfully with the rum in my diaper. And everyone has voted to veto caroling since Pirate Doug has a singing voice that can kill… literally. The present exchange would be ruined if everyone was dead. Could my days be merrier or brighter? Uh, no. Check.
It seems I have everything under control and Christmas on Mystical Isle will be unforgettable, or I’m not the Well-Hung God of the Sea, Poseidon.
And I am. Check.

The strangest Christmas celebration ever! I am always so very flabbergasted over the ingenious creativity of this particular author! To be able to consistently deliver humorous reading treasures without it becoming repetitious or boring is a book lovers gold! This series gives you Gods and mermaid and pirates…but none of them are remotely like you could ever imagine! Yet another time being added to my dragon hoard of treasures! All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
Oh my GAWD this was a laugh out loud till you cry and choke on cookie fantastic book! I can’t even begin to describe the madness other than to say I shall never look at Christmas the same again… plus omg selfie stick! You’ll see lol.
For audio –
Jingle my Balls was an absolute riot of laughter for the holidays that is good to listen to anytime. I just can’t believe that someone can write with this great of imagination and zaniness. And yet here it is, from Ms. Peterman another fabulously written Sea Shenanigan. I just couldn’t stop laughing from one bad thing that Poseidon did to the next. And then to have a narrator like David Brenin bring all of the hootenanny off of the pages. I am sure that he must have gotten done with each chapter and said “Gawd, I love my job!” And you should say, GAWD, I need this audio!
This was a hilarious book. From begining to end I laughed hard. The sleep over and the Devil singing in his sleep had me in tears. Love it!!
Oh my gosh!! I just love this wonderful series about Sea Shenanigans! The characters are funny, loving, violent and amazing. The writing is obscenely hilarious and I couldn’t stop laughing while reading it. It is a definite Christmas read!
If you’re reading this series, there isn’t much for me to say except “Here’s another one you want to read!” Yep, it’s all the things the “Mermaids stories” bring: Fun? Check. Hilarious? Check. Easy and fun reading? Check. A little profanity? Check.
There’s only one thing – Don’t get thrown but the self-cleaning crock pots! There’s no such thing! For what it’s worth… if you haven’t read the first 5 books, do that first. You will enjoy catching up and it will make the characters in this one better understood.
This is hands down my favorite book in this series. I laughed so much! It’s amazing how many hi-jinks, mayhem and fun can fit into such a fast read! The entire Christmas holiday is given the Poseidon treatment. Black Friday shopping, ugly sweaters, the family Christmas portrait, holiday decorating, all are covered, or should I say converted? What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. If I could give 10 stars instead of 5, I would!
Robyn has done it again! If you think you have a crazy mixed up family, wait till you read about this one! I loved every minute of it and couldn’t put it down! A totally different take on a Christmas story but love wins out! Totally awesome read!
I think the best way to describe this Robyn Peterman’s new book Jingle Me Balls, is to tell you the emotions going through my mind as I read it. OMG I can’t Poseidon said that. Omg I don’t believe he did that. Holy crap is he that that dumb? Holy crap, he is. Laughing out loud. What the heck?? Awe that is the sweetest thing.
This book is definitely the pièce de résistance of the Sea Shenanigans Series. I laughed, and i actually cried. A must-read for Robyn Peterman fans
What an awesome way to start 2020! Jingle Me Balls is hilarious. I was in my bank when I read the black Friday scene. I laughed so hard. (FYI) I hate Black Friday! So if you want to start the New Year laughing pick up this book. Its filled with same loveable characters from the series but I feel like you can read Jingle Me Balls as a stand alone. Be warned it will make you want to buy the other books.
Another hysterical visit to Mystical Isle! In this, the final book in the Sea Shenanigans series, we get to spend time to drunken pappy Poseidon. After fathering 900-some odd children, our favorite God of the Sea agrees to spend the Christmas holiday on Mystical Isle with the rest of the lunatics. All he needs is the Christmas presents…what could go wrong?
I really liked this book, and it seemed to really put a nice bow on the series. When everything goes wrong, Poseidon and his diaper full of bottles of rum manage to make everything better – even with grossly inappropriate Christmas sweaters, and without the self-cleaning crock pots and pop up hot dog toasters. A Grinch he is not, and the true meaning of Christmas shines through, even when he’s drunk.
This series is a must read. A fantastical farce with mermaids, genies, shifters, pirates, and the rest of the motley crew.
This is the final book in the Sea Shenanigans series. This reads ok as a stand alone, although there may be a bit of confusion because everyone is in the book! Oh before I forget, I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Have you ever had a bad day and just want to giggle and laugh?? This is the book for you! If you are in a super serious mood this may frustrate you. Just saying. This is a book of laughter, belly laughs, snort stuff out your nose laughter. It’s a fun Christmas story. Poor Poseidon is sooo confused. I actually truly enjoyed this book. Okay maybe not the image of pulling a rum bottle out of his diaper. But this is pure fun. I admit this book might not be for everyone, but give it a try. Well worth it. 4 stars
5 out of 5 stars
Well it is Christmas time on Mystical Isle and who better to get everything ready for the girls and their mates . Poseidon well he isn’t the best person or should i say God to do the job but he is sure trying. From pilfering ugly christmas sweaters to decorating the palm trees what could go wrong . Well if you know Poseidon things never go as planned . Things always go awry. Oh and for an added pressure there is a surprise guest or two that will be making an appearance to the island . Will the gang have a Merry Christmas or will Poseidon ruin it like always .
Poseidon and the gang are back , I absolutely love this cast of characters . They are so well written and hilariously inappropriate . Poseidon what can we say about the diaper wearing drunk . He commanders this book as he takes on Christmas . He is hilarious and well really not so smart in some things but that’s what make you love him . Pirate Doug and the girls are back and trying to stop his Christmas decorating . Trust me guys you will love these characters they are inappropriate and crude .
This is such a fun read , you will laugh your butt off . The author takes us on a fun filled Christmas story of love and laughter . This book so reminds me of Christmas’s with any family out there . We all have that uncle that just is boisterous and loud . We have sisters and brother n laws that really just get on your nerves . But you love them and their antics . This is a fun story that will have you laughing all the way through . So if you want a great read for you weekend check it out . You will be laughing all night long .
This book is hysterical. A great funny holiday book with family love and self cleaning crock pots. Who doesn’t love Black Friday, ugly Christmas sweaters, elf on the shelf and Santa this book has it all plus non stop humor.
I hope 2020 will be as fun as this book!
This was my first book of 2020. I have to say, it was one of the funniest books I’ve read.
I laughed the entire time like a crazed hyena.
I swear it was like Lucille Ball and Melissa McCarthy had a book baby!
It hits all the top holiday traditions….Black Friday Shopping…Elf on a Shelf…Decorating the Christmas Tree…Ugly Christmas Sweaters and even Satan Claus, but totally in a Peterman kind of way.
“Chris was a wonderful scoundrel that I happened upon a few centuries ago….” for the love of all…LOL
