Book Details
First Sentence
"What is the first thing that comes into your mind at the sound of the word "Christmas"? Some will say 'presents', others 'plenty of food', others 'a Christmas tree'. Some will think of snow and snowmen, others of eating turkey and plum pudding on a sun-baked beach by the Pacific Ocean; some will think of parties, of pantomimes, of holly and mistletoe, of carol-singing, roasting chestnuts by a log fire."
