# How to Survive Christmas by Jilly Cooper (Hardcover)

**The witty and irreverent guide to surviving the festive season from the _Sunday Times_ bestselling author of _Rivals_, now a major series streaming on Disney+.**

**Christmas** is looming. Will your mother-in-law present you with yet another hideous jersey this year? How are you going to cope with Granny's peke or the undesirable in-laws? Has the row about where to spend the holiday already started, and it's only August?

**Jilly Cooper** has the answer to everything. Whether you should seek refuge in the cooking sherry or suggest a wholesome family walk, Jilly offers, in her own irrepressible style, sound but often hilarious advice about how to get through the roller-coaster ride we call **Christmas**.

With the help of the perfect Christmas family - **Scarlett O'Aga**, the Xmasochistic housewife, her wayward husband **Noel,** his seductive mistress **Ms Stress,** their four delightful children **Holly, Robin, Carol and Nicholas,** and their dog **Difficult Patch,** we learn how to survive this most demanding of occasions.
