TIS THE SEASON
Claudia Carroll has written a festive short story called All I Want for Christmas. The summary says: "Christmas with the one you love. It's going to be perfect ... isn't it? In three days Lucy and Andrew will to fly to Mexico for their beautiful wedding. What's a twenty-year age gap when you're this in love? Christmas dinner feels like the perfect occasion to introduce the two families to each other. What could possibly go wrong? Workaholic Jo Hargreaves spends most of her Christmas day wondering where her unreliable new husband is. Dawn and Kirk spend hours slaving over a mung-bean based vegan festive lunch - but Dawn's mum is struggling to keep her true feeling to herself. Can these three couples manage the magical Christmas they've been dreaming of?"
