Six stories to span the Christmas holidays:

The Marriage Manual: Christmas Eve. Two parents endeavour to construct their son's Christmas present from a DIY kit and in the process find themselves deconstructing their marriage.

Christmas at the Airport: A glitch in the system, travellers stranded and all sorts of lives colliding in the face of a sudden birth...

The Boxing Day Ball: Maureen has never been out with the local girls before. Who knew that a disco in the Village Hall could be life-changing?

A Snow Garden: Two little boys, dumped with their divorced father for his share of the Christmas holidays and none of them with a clue how to enjoy it.

New Year's Day: As if Christmas wasn't wearing enough, now his elderly parent is asking for a hole in the ground... Father and son break old habits and plant a tree to mark the start of the new year.

Six stories as funny, joyous, poignant and memorable as Christmas should be.
