Christmas in our house is the time we tend to get on a plane and head to either sun or snow, anywhere that is far, far away from the madness at home, last minute dashes to the shops on Christmas Eve, and food cupboard stockpiles that would imply supermarkets are shutting for a month, nor a mere 36 hours. But I do remember the feeling of Christmas when I was younger, back when it was magical, and back when you knew exactly what the season would bring with carol concerts and school nativities and Christmas parties. This book is an anthology of those moments, and it took me right back to the wonder of Christmas as a child.

This is a lovely book to dip in and out of. You can read it all in one go without overdosing because there's so much variety and it's not just sickly sweet or sentimental, but at the same time you can just read a few of the entries and put it down to enjoy some more later. There's a lovely British feel to it, with lots of Yorkshire references (and dialect) and the whole thing reminded me in a wonderful way of simpler times.
