"She dreamed of a Christmas with no need to share; a Christmas with only her parents there. Yes, Christmas for three was sure to be great; mountains of marvellous food by the crate, and no nibbling nellies, or ravenous rellies, to pinch at the portions on Princess Claire's plate." But as misfortunes befall other people's Christmas dinners, they all arrive to share Princess Claire's table much to her annoyance. However when a young couple expecting a baby arrive as well, Princess Claire finally experiences the real joy of Christmas.
