Publisher's Summary
Tis’ the season to get trollied!
Mummy has always loved Christmas. Sure, the kids turn into demons, the dinner gets burnt to a crisp and Aunt Louisa’s general staggering inappropriateness sends Mummy reaching for the nearest maximum-strength festive tipple, but nevertheless, for her, Christmas is always special.
This year, she wants nothing more than to perfectly fig up the pudding and sit by the fire reading aloud from A Christmas Carol to a rapt, rosy-cheeked audience. But, just like all Mummy’s best-laid plans, this year’s Festive Vision is in danger of being totally derailed by her chaotic family. There’s not much chance of any action under the mistletoe, and the kids are just not playing ball.
Can Mummy find her silver lining after all and bring the whole family together for one moment of harmony, so they can finally proclaim ‘Verily You Are the Queen of Christmas’? Or should she get stuck into the festive spirits and just let it all go?

My most favourite Audible title to date
This was my first encounter will Gill Sims and I loved every moment of her slightly unhinged but oh-so-relatable protagonist. Gabrielle Glaister is perfection and I am excited to now experience the earlier books in the series. I have been laughing endlessly, as did my mil when I shared it with her. I have now ordered the hard cover book for my ‘Christmas cannon’ (and to gift to my daughter when she is at a certain stage of life)- but Glaister’s performance will always be in my head for this character, and Audible is how I will re-read this book next year and every year after. As Boris Karloff is to the Grinch, so is Gabrielle Glaister to Mummy. Iconic.
Thank you and festive cheer to everyone involved. Maybe not shots…

Another winner!
I have laughed along with every book in this series, and this one was no exception. This author has a way of taking the most frustrating elements of parenting and adulting and turning them into comedic gold. Here’s to the next one!
