You only have to think about the turkey for that – once upon a time it was leaving it sat on the downstairs loo to defrost overnight, and if that failed the hair-dryer shoved inside it treatment was your next best bet. Nowadays it's all having to make sure it's suitably free-range and organic – but not too organic that you can go and visit it, and get too friendly with it to want to eat it. Christmas, though, is of course also a time of great boons. It's cash in hand for a lot of plump people who can hire red suits and beards, it was always a godsend for postmen with all the thank-you letters to aunties you saw twice a decade that your parents made you write out in long-hand as a child, and as for the makers of Meltis Newberry Fruits – well, did they even try and sell them any other time of the year?[[An Almost Perfect Christmas by Nina Stibbe|Full Review]] |amazonuk=<amazonuk!-- Doescher -->0241309824</amazonuk>}}{{newreview|author=Ian Doescher-|titlestyle=William Shakespeare's the Force Doth Awaken"width: 10%; vertical-align: top; text-align: Star Wars Part the Seventhcenter;"||rating=4[[image:Doescher_Will.5jpg|genre=Science Fictionleft|summarylink=A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, there was a man called William https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/159474985X?ie=UTF8&tag=thebookbag-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=159474985X]]  | style="vertical-align: top; text-align: left;"|===[[William Shakespeare, who was able to create a series of dramatic histories full of machinations most foul, rulers most evil and rebellious heroes and heroines most sturdy.
