What I wasn't expecting coming into the book is the totally magical storyline going on at the same time as the nativity rehearsals, and this aspect of it was absolutely hilarious! Poor Oscar and Molly have to traipse around in the early hours of the day looking for time-shifted and lost members of the original Nativity, Mary, Joseph, a wise man, a shepherd and possibly a donkey. Having found some of them, the efforts they had to go to to hide them from the rest of the family had me in hysterics.

Oscar isn't thrilled to be staying with his (incredibly posh) grandparents for Christmas- especially his nativity-obsessed grandmother who won't rest until she puts on the best show in Chipping Bottom. But when the Angel Gabriel crash lands outside his window and announces the cast of the real life nativity, including actual Mary and Joseph, are lost and need to be recovered before Christmas Eve, Oscar and his sister are pulled along on an entertaining mission to save Christmas. And why write about the Nativity? “I just love that Christmas message,” she says. “At the root it’s better than all of the materialistic things and it’s important for so many people to know where Christmas comes from. Do I fully believe that all of that happened? I don’t, but I love stories, and it’s a good one.” Strictly's Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola fuel romance rumours as they pose for cosy photoshoot with fans saying they are a 'match made in heaven' Napoleon was six years younger than Josephine - so why are they played by Joaquin Phoenix, 49, and Vanessa Kirby, 35?

Oscar's grandmother puts on a very special nativity play every year in her local church, and she is incredibly particular about it. I loved the mother's reactions to being invited to her mother-in-law's house for Christmas because of her past experiences with the play, but also that ironic disappointment at not being given a part! The pregnant aunty not being able to act enough like a pregnant Mary was hilarious too. But it's not so much the play itself as the way people react to it, particularly the grandad sitting watching it, I swear I could see the look in his eye, part nostalgia, part mischievous twinkle. Molly was just brilliant throughout too! I found her sweet and hilarious and loved Oscar's attempts to cover up her blatant and extremely inconvenient honesty.
