A Typical Family Christmas by Liz Davies
For once, Kate Peters would like a
happy, family Christmas; the kind of Christmas seen in the movies. She wants
harmony and happiness, smiling, glowing faces, tables groaning with food, carol
singing around the tree. She wants love, kindness, and goodwill to all men,
especially in
her own house.
her own house.
What she doesn’t want is drama. Absolutely no drama, whatsoever.
But what she gets is three stroppy children, two equally stroppy grandmothers, a husband who can’t manage to change a lightbulb, and Pepe the poodle.
It’s no wonder she feels unappreciated, overworked, and ignored. At the end of her tinsel-coated tether, and with the only Christmas spirit being in the form of a bottle of raspberry gin, Kate decides to leave them to it, and see how they manage without her.
A quiet little hotel somewhere
near the sea, where she can pretend Christmas doesn’t exist, is just the thing
she needs.
Isn’t it?

She’s married to her
best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in
the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes),
you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but
isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat - she’s much better at that! Liz also
enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots
of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days.
She currently lives
with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel
the world in it.
