Also, there are no fires in airports to read A Christmas Carol beside, are there? Not like at home,’ I pointed out.

I’ve always loved Christmas. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been convinced every year that this year – this year it would be perfect. This would be the year when everyone’s dreams would come true: the children would frolic, my carefully chosen gifts would be received with rapturous expressions on rosy-cheeked faces, I’d bear the bronzed and gleaming turkey to the table on some sort of (yet to be sourced) Golden Platter to stunned Oohs! and Ahhs!, and everyone would say, ‘Oh Ellen, this is marvellous. Verily, you are the Queen of Christmas’ before Simon kissed me under the mistletoe. In the end, I suppose that's what a marriage comes down to: finding the one special person you want to annoy and be annoyed by for the rest of your life.”

And then you come home, cheeks a-glowing –’ There are several areas if this book that I feel could have been lifted straight out of my life, although I don't have a sister in law with 6 kids who thinks nothing gif turning up unannounced or with little warning. A truly fantastic funny read. If you are a parent, overworked, Not enough hours in the day, at the end of your tether and need to put a smile on your face then this book needs reading. Its one of those books that at regular intervals you have to stop and say to whoever is nearest to you, 'ahhh just listen to this'. lol lol lolThis is our chance for us, Ellen,’ he said. ‘Come on. What’s that bloody book you’re always on about, some orphan who’s irritatingly jolly no matter what happens and finds something to be glad about?’
