Summary
The idea of bringing everyone together to celebrate Christmas is supposed to be a beautiful thing, but when Ralph Mountfield's family gets together, the holiday happenings take a wild turn as each family relative does his part in adding to the chaos of the day.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Everyone knows the story of Christmas. Decking the halls with boughs of holly. Hanging stockings by the chimney with care. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Then thereâs the true story of Christmas. And Ralph Mountfield is smack in the middle of it.
Great Grannyâs crustier than ever. Grandpaâs singing to the dog. Great Aunt Ida is completely crackers. Uncle Tristamâs giving out bricks. The cousins are whining and throwing tantrums. Mumâs looking for Dad. Dadâs looking for aspirin. And Ralph is looking to stay out of trouble.
But when a Christmas Quiz brings out some hidden truths, trouble is exactly what Ralph finds. Itâs anything but a silent, holy night for the Mountfield family!
