Lorinda is sure that she and her brother James will be able to buy the best Christmas present ever for their mother. They’re bursting with good money-making ideas, and the red vase is the most beautiful thing Lorinda has ever seen. After a few false starts, the money starts rolling in.
But the moment they’ve worked and saved so hard for turns into disaster — not just once, but TWICE. Lorinda wants to crawl into a hole and hide until Boxing Day. It’s just too late to turn the worst into the best again, she thinks... or it it?
“Budge Wilson has written a Christmas story for all seasons.”
