Summary
What if you got exactly what you wanted this Christmas? Find out why you should be careful what you wish for in best-seller Chrissie Manby's (Getting Over Mr Right, Seven Sunny Days) exclusive Christmas novella.
It’s the 1st of December and Milly Arnold is facing a miserable Noel. Newly single, the last thing she wants to do is join her settled sister and her young family for the first of their traditions: the writing of the Christmas lists. However Milly’s nephews have other ideas and insist she write a list of her own (with illustrations to help Father Christmas decipher her terrible handwriting). Milly duly makes a request for a bunch of roses, some chocolate and a new pair of shoes. She doesn’t expect to get any of it. However, that very day, a box of chocolates appears, swiftly followed by the roses. And when Milly wins a voucher to buy a pair of shoes, she begins to wonder if there’s something in this Christmas cosmic ordering after all. She quickly amends her first letter. However, as Christmas gets closer and the items she requested appear in increasingly unexpected ways, Milly starts to worry that Santa might be taking her list just a little too literally.

Annoying mc and something missing
I discovered this as an exclusive novella in Audible so thought I'd give it a go to try and get me in the Christmas spirit.
I have to say I just found it average. There was just something missing that made it feel a bit flat, a missing spark.
I found the mc Milly quite annoying and lacking personality, she just felt like such a sap. I think I preferred her sisters who didn't feature as much to be honest! The radio presenter, Mark Clark, was really annoying too.
I did love that Milly ended up with everything from her list, because the magic of Christmas is real!
Overall, I'm glad it was only a novella as I managed to finish it but I wouldn't listen again.

One of the good festive reads
I’ve found some gems among The Christmassy short stories (and some that didn’t hit the right note for me and I abandoned them). This is fun. A story of nice things. It’s just a lovely story and I enjoyed it all.

lovely light hearted story
What did you like most about The Christmas List?
I absolutely loved listening to how milly wrote her Christmas lists and sent them up the chimney and it goes to show if you do wish for something you might receive it in an unexpected way
What does Rebecca Courtney bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I loved how she had read with expression and made me feel like I wanted to be read to again rather than being annoyed at the fact someone is reading the story

Good Humor, good Story, Good narrator
I liked this light and fresh story that took it’s turns and twists and therefore felt kind of surprising to me. Nice ending without any annoying unrealistic way too romantic moments. Worth listening.

Christmas list
Would you consider the audio edition of The Christmas List to be better than the print version?
Haven't read the book
Who was your favorite character and why?
I didn't really have a favourite. I enjoyed the whole story.
Have you listened to any of Rebecca Courtney’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No but I liked her reading and would be happy to listen to her again.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I think this is too short for a film
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed this short story. It was very sweet and put me in a Christmas mood.

Sweet short listen
A “free” Christmas time story. Listened to in March and enjoyed anyway. Christmas, family and happiness- a short break from the wind and rain 😀
