A wise and witty 68-page short story that is full of Christmas cheer from the best-selling author and TV presenter, Fern Britton.
This will be one Christmas theyll never forget
Piran Ambrose is the epitome of brooding male. But Pendruggans Mr Rochester is in danger of becoming its Ebeneezer Scrooge when he is driven to distraction by the villagers over-the-top Christmas celebrations. How could the cringeworthy amateur village production of Aladdin bring seasonal cheer to anyone, he wonders And do the village children really have to arrive at his cottage door every single night in December with their terrible recorders and discordant singing
But when Pirans bad temper risks spoiling Christmas for everyone, something drastic needs to be done. So, over one Christmas Eve, three very special people pay Piran a visit, determined to show him what Christmas is really all about
