The latest in Hazel’s prolific series of diaries looks at the festive season through the eyes of a young girl growing up amongst all the warmth and chaos that is family life at Christmastime and later as a mum organizing Christmas for her own family.
Reading these charming entries is like looking through a favourite family album where the reader can get acquainted with all the characters of Hazel’s family, circle of friends and local community and will surely be reminded of some of their own.
The festivities, the family rituals, the good times and the not-so-good times – all are enchantingly and faithfully recorded. These lavishly illustrated entries are certain to evoke some fond, perhaps embarrassing, sometimes poignant but ultimately entertaining memories of Christmases past as well as providing an informative insight into the life of a Yorkshire family.
An engaging and absorbing read, whatever the time of year.
