Synopsis

Mum's forgotten to defrost the turkey, Dad's fused the fairy lights, the kids are singing rude words to carols, and Gran's tipsy on sweet sherry - yes, it's 'that' time of year again. If your seasonal stress levels are as maxed out as your credit cards, this hilarious collection of festive wit and humour is sure to put the jingle back in your bells.

Why? You sit opposite the plump girl for 48 weeks and it never once occurs to you that she is interesting. So how come, after one warm wine, she only needs to put on a paper hat to become Jordan? - Jeremy Clarkson The great thing about carols is that because you learned them at school, you can still remember all the words when you go drunk to Midnight Mass. - Jo Brand
