Do They Know It's Christmas Yet? by James Crookes Pdf

Switch off the 21st century and take a step back to the 1980s. "Do They Know It's Christmas, Yet?" is a hilarious journey through love, loss, second chances and joyful hope. During a global pandemic, you'd be forgiven for thinking life couldn't become more complicated. Unless you are Tash and Jamie Summers. On Christmas Day 2020, an unfathomable - and entirely accidental - return to October 1984 causes significant collateral damage for these squabbling siblings, and they have conflicting obligations. Hers is to return to her baby son in 2020, his is to get 1984 back on track, because as it stands Bob Geldof won't form Band Aid or release the famine beating song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Which is kind of a big deal, because the song led to USA For Africa, and Live Aid, the most famous live music event of all time. And it's all their fault. It's a tricky one: try to return home to your baby, or feed a million others? "...such a bloody brilliant story!" "The brilliance of the dialogue shines through" "Deserves to be made for TV!" James Crookes has been writing comedy for TV and Radio for twenty years. He has contributed to shows on BBC One, CBBC and CBeebies, along with producing and co-presenting the Bauer Radio breakfast show, Big John @ Breakfast, since 2004.

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham Pdf

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That’s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they’ll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won’t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren’t even going to have a tree. They won’t need one, because come December 25 they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences—and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined. A classic tale for modern times from a beloved storyteller, John Grisham’s Skipping Christmas offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition.

A Christmas Carol (Illustrated in Color by Arthur Rackham) by Charles Dickens Pdf

Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter miser, hates Christmas and everything it stands for, but visits from the ghosts of Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas future terrify him, thawing his frozen heart, and opening a world of possibilities. A Christmas Carol, first published in 1843, has captured the public imagination, and is now itself part of the Christmas tradition, warming the heart like mince pies and mulled wine on a winter evening. This beautiful hardback brings together two masters of their fields: Charles Dickens, a grandmaster of Victorian literature and a household name from his time until ours, and Arthur Rackham, one of the greatest book illustrators of all time. Contains Dickens' unabridged text, and Rackham's imaginative playful illustrations (12 color, 22 black and white).
