Publisher's summary

The villagers of Thrush Green celebrate Christmas traditionally, in a way that has hardly changed over the generations. Children eagerly hang up their stockings, families go to church together and everyone enjoys the treats of the festive season. And when it snows as the carol singers make their way round the cottages on the green, it looks as if Christmas will be perfect this year. But not everything is as peaceful as it seems.

Phyllida and Frank have their work cut out for them when they agree to take on the Nativity play - made all the more difficult by an outbreak of chickenpox. The indomitable Ella has lived in Thrush Green for as long as anyone can remember, but lately she has been behaving strangely. Then there are the dreadful Burwells, newcomers to Thrush Green, who cause something of a stir with their 'home improvements'.

For Nelly, owner of The Fuchsia Bush tea shop, Christmas is an especially busy time, with people dropping in for much-needed refreshment, weary from all their Christmas shopping. But then she receives an unexpected letter.

Snobbery

When I was purchasing this I’d read someone’s review about the British characters being snobs. I hadn’t realized how hard it was to endure. It was painful to hear these characters being so sanctimonious. And at Christmas!!!i I kept expecting some Christian charity at the end. No way. They justified their snobbery. Terrible. Great reader though.

Repeatedly enjoyable

Once again it is sad to come to the end of this gentle, entertaining series. I don’t know how many times I’ve read the books and listened to these audiobooks. I will certainly be listening to them again and again.
