Pour yourself a cup of tea, settle down in front of the fire, and
join Mary and Archie Nugent, at number nine Holly Crescent, as they skip
Christmas this year.
Their three grown-up children are all
busy with their own plans for Christmas Day - Richard’s taken his young
wife away on holiday, Susan’s busy with her new boyfriend, and Helen’s
life is one big whirl of parties and lunches out.
But are they all as perfectly happy as their parents believe them to be?
Feeling
unwanted and a little lonely, Mary and Archie convince themselves that
it will be best to skip the whole madness of Christmas and spend a quiet
day at home together. No dragging out the old Christmas tree and
putting up decorations, or rushing around the crowded shops for
last-minute shopping.
But the best-laid plans can have a way
of going wrong, so will the couple find that skipping Christmas is not
as easy as it sounds? Especially with an unexpected arrival, by
taxi, on their doorstep, and with Mary’s inability to stop herself from
inviting lonely strangers and neighbours, new and old, into their
home...
As waifs and strays, including a puppy, gather in their home, new friendships are made, stories are shared, and drama comes knocking at their door, more than once. And amidst the happy chaos, there might just be love in the air, quite a sprinkling of it…
Mary’s and Archie’s plan of skipping Christmas might not have turned out quite as they’d planned, but maybe, in the end, it turned out to be exactly what Christmas is all about.
Sometimes the spirit of Christmas has a way of working its magic even if you’re not looking for it.
The
perfect uplifting festive read, promising trials and tribulation, tears
and laughter, and love and friendship, with a sprinkling of snowfall,
humour, and seasonal romance.
For fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain, Carole Matthews, and Milly Johnson.
