What Amazon Says:
'Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon is embracing it, returning from the States to live in the charming village of Letherby and working with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze's stately home. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness - even if that only means listening to a meditation tape while hunting down online bargains. But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: Her parents hosting, carols playing on repeat, her mother pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors coming round for sherry in thr terrible holiday sweaters. Things are looking cherrier than ever, until Becky's parents announce they're movingto ultra-trendy Shoreditch - unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avacados - and ask Becky if she'll host this year. What could possibly go wrong? Becky's sister demands a vegan turkey, her husban insists that he just wants aftershave (again), and little Minnie need a very specific hamper. Surely Becky can manage all this as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend-turned-rock star and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear. But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her bighearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky wonders if chaos will ensue, or if she'll manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas after all.
