Product Description
This is a Christmas story of sorts, although it doesn't take place entirely at that time of year. It concerns young Tom, who loves Christmas and everything that goes with it, and his mother, who has reservations. Tom makes a seasonal wish and conveys it to Father Christmas. Then he changes his mind. The adults in his world only make things more complicated.
The story begins one December, in the run-up towards Christmas, when the weather is cold but there is no snow. Young Tom loves snow, and all he really wants for Christmas is to see it fall from the sky to be admired and loved and played with and turned into snowmen and . . . well, whatever else you can imagine a six-year-old might want to do with a good deep snowfall.
But - it stays up there in the sky. So Tom, ever resourceful, takes his Christmas wish to Father Christmas.
It isn't long, however, before he realises that there are other wishes he might have asked for - perhaps better ones, less selfish ones. Will he be able to change his mind? Will Father Christmas agree to edit his list? What will happen in the end?

Please note: In spite of Tom's part in the story, this is a book for adults. Christmas holds sorrows as well as joys for many people, including Tom's lone mother. But sometimes, just sometimes, things do work out happily, after all.
