Dad's lost wage packet means a lean festive season, until a tiny law is quietly broken, and his search for holly leads to a ghostly encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Joseph in the school nativity play, Derek rewrites scripture and fuels a riot. Christmas magic is everywhere, until Granddad tries conjuring with flames at the dinner table.\u003cbr\u003eChristmas Eve in church is anything but holy. In frosty bedrooms, damp village halls, cheerful pubs and Santa's Grotto at the CO-OP, all is not calm, but it's certainly bright.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s how Christmas used to be – real, fun, and real funny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We like it!” BBC Radio\u003cbr\u003eAward-winning author Dave Preston was born and raised in Old Malton, a small village in Yorkshire that provides the perfect setting for these hilarious stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also contains traditional Yorkshire recipes for festive fare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dave Preston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148432851184,"sku":"2940045080040","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045080040_p0.jpg?v=1763673703","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045080040","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
