Book Description
The hilarious and indispensible guide to coping with Christmas - whether you love it or loathe it
From the Back Cover
Has the Christmas fixtures row already started - but it's still only August? How are you going to cope with Granny's peke this year? Will your mother-in-law present you with yet another hideous jumper? And how will you survive without seeing the object of your unrequited desires for at least ten days? Jilly Cooper has the answer to everything. Whether you should seek refuge in the cooking sherry, or suggest a wholesome family hike, Jilly offers, in her own irrepressible style, sound and often hilarious advice to us all about how to get through the roller-coaster ride we call Christmas. She also introduces us to her perfect Christmas family: Scarlett O'Aga, an Xmasochist house-wife, her wayward husband Noel, his seductive mistress, Ms Stress, their four delightful children, Holly, Robin, Carol and Nicholas, and their dog Difficult Patch, and gives us a poignant and wholly recognizable view of how they manage to celebrate Christmas. Whether you love Christmas or loathe it this is the ideal book for you. Jilly has captured the essence of the season's inevitable conflicts in her wildly irreverent account of the assault course most of us run each year from October to January.
