Publisher's summary

What if you got exactly what you wanted this Christmas? Find out why you should be careful what you wish for in best-seller Chrissie Manby's (Getting Over Mr Right, Seven Sunny Days) exclusive Christmas novella.

It’s the 1st of December and Milly Arnold is facing a miserable Noel. Newly single, the last thing she wants to do is join her settled sister and her young family for the first of their traditions: the writing of the Christmas lists. However Milly’s nephews have other ideas and insist she write a list of her own (with illustrations to help Father Christmas decipher her terrible handwriting). Milly duly makes a request for a bunch of roses, some chocolate and a new pair of shoes. She doesn’t expect to get any of it. However, that very day, a box of chocolates appears, swiftly followed by the roses. And when Milly wins a voucher to buy a pair of shoes, she begins to wonder if there’s something in this Christmas cosmic ordering after all. She quickly amends her first letter. However, as Christmas gets closer and the items she requested appear in increasingly unexpected ways, Milly starts to worry that Santa might be taking her list just a little too literally.

Perfect

Thanks, Audible, for this charming Christmas story that was included as a freebie. The main character went through some far-from-perfect holiday experiences, as many of us do, before things worked out in an unlikely way. The author and narrator were excellent storytellers.

Absolutely delightful!

Quick read and simply delightful. I love Christmas as much as Millie does! I am also very close with my sister so this book was perfect for me! The accents of the narrator were positively enchanting. Very clever and funny. Def recommend this fun little story if you are looking for a Christmas audiobook!

Enjoyed this from start to finish.

Christmas wishes, letters to Santa, and all the festivities. Perhaps Santa will give you all you want, but the universe may have a say as well.
A good Christmas story.
