A Typical Family Christmas by Liz Davies- Holiday fiction
Kate and her husband Brett have three children-Ellis & Portia who are teenagers and
Sam who is eleven. Each Christmas they have Brett’s mother to stay for a couple of
days and traumatic though this is especially for Kate,it goes quickly enough. When
Kate’s mother announces she is also staying it is not good news as the two mother
in laws don’t get on due to one constantly whinging and the other having a go at
the family. When they arrive early and the sleeping arrangements haven’t been
sorted the balloon goes up. Kate works part time in a charity shop and full time at
home sorting everything from food to the garden. Brett does little around the
house but thinks that Kate has it easy as she doesn’t have the pressure of the
Abyss- his boss. Kate knows that in the two girls she has let them get away with
almost murder as to how they treat the hosue and their parents. She has made
her own rod so to speak. I really enjoyed this. The family dynamics that we all
know in one form or another and Kate’s way of dealing with it.
An uplifting read with a huge smile.

A Typical Family Christmas 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. 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? Purchase Links: Amazon US - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XC7FJHK Amazon UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XC7FJHK
Author Bio –
Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a
smattering of humour, and a great deal of love. 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. Social Media Links: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LizDaviesAuthor1/ Twitter https://twitter.com/lizdaviesauthor
