Christmas With Billy And Me: A Short Story (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
December always seems to flash by in an instant, but it’s been particularly quick this year. It’s already Christmas Eve and time to close the shop for a week over the festive season – bring on some time curled up on the sofa in my PJs with lots of chocolates and plenty of sleep. We’ve been rushed off our feet, tirelessly working our way through the Christmas orders – dozens of homemade mince pies, Christmas cakes and puddings have been filled with boozy fruit and delivered to happy customers, each accompanied by a complimentary home-decorated red Christmas bauble to hang on their trees, on which I’ve handwritten in gold, glittery writing, ‘Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents’ – a quote from Little Women. I felt the need to give them all a little token of my gratitude for helping to pull me through the last six months. It would’ve been a lot tougher without their support and friendship. With all our normal Christmas chores completed, and the shop announced as closed to the public at midday, it’s time to move on to our secret task and unload the boxes containing all of our hard work, so that we can get the shop looking as romantic and Christmassy as possible for the big proposal.
