Switch off the 21st century and take a step back to the 1980s. "Do They Know It's Christmas, Yet?" is a hilarious journey through love, loss, second chances and joyful hope. During a global pandemic, you'd be forgiven for thinking life couldn't become more complicated. Unless you are Tash and Jamie Summers. On Christmas Day 2020, an unfathomable - and entirely accidental - return to October 1984 causes significant collateral damage for these squabbling siblings, and they have conflicting obligations. Hers is to return to her baby son in 2020, his is to get 1984 back on track, because as it stands Bob Geldof won't form Band Aid or release the famine beating song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Which is kind of a big deal, because the song led to USA For Africa, and Live Aid, the most famous live music event of all time. And it's all their fault. It's a tricky one: try to return home to your baby, or feed a million others? "...such a bloody brilliant story!" "The brilliance of the dialogue shines through" "Deserves to be made for TV!" James Crookes has been writing comedy for TV and Radio for twenty years. He has contributed to shows on BBC One, CBBC and CBeebies, along with producing and co-presenting the Bauer Radio breakfast show, Big John @ Breakfast, since 2004.

From the author and illustrator of Night at the Stadium and Day at the Beach comes a modern holiday classic about a chipmunk who has to learn the true meaning of Christmas. It is Christmas Eve and Little Chipmunk asks his mother, “What is Christmas, Mama?” His Mama tells him that Christmas is many things and as they walk together through the woods, Little Chipmunk sees badgers decorating their burrow with bright red berries, ducks exchanging holidays greetings on golden leaves, beetles carrying presents on their shiny backs, and geese singing in the winter sky. Each time he asks his mother if this is Christmas, and each time she answers, that yes, this is part of Christmas. Night falls and Little Chipmunk and his Mama snuggle in to sleep. When he wakes up on Christmas morning, he is surprised by the wonderland that greets him: all the world is blanketed in deep snow. And, then, one by one, Chipmunk and his mother see the geese, the badgers, the ducks, and the beetles, as well as some new forest friends—all gathered to celebrate joy and friendship, beauty and wonder, love and kindness—all of what Christmas truly means.

Donald Hall draws on his own childhood memories and gives himself the thing he most wanted but didn't get as a boy: a Christmas at Eagle Pond. It’s the Christmas season of 1940, and twelve-year-old Donnie takes the train to visit his grandparents' place in rural New Hampshire. Once there, he quickly settles into the farm’s routines. In the barn, Gramp milks the cows and entertains his grandson by speaking rhymed pieces, while Donnie’s eyes are drawn to an empty stall that houses a graceful, cobwebby sleigh. Now Model A's speed over the wintry roads, which must be plowed, and the beautiful sleigh has become obsolete. When the church pageant is over, the gifts are exchanged, and the remains of the Christmas feast put away, the air becomes heavy with fine snowflakes—the kind that fall at the start of a big storm—and everyone wonders, how will Donnie get back to his parents on time?
