Suddenly, Romy felt like a different person – a woman on a mission once again.

That miracle she’d longed for had, as if by magic, come about right here in her mother’s study.

She’d serendipitously happened across her mum’s diary on the desk – a treasure trove of chatty recollections and, more pertinently, her heartfelt hopes for their family this year. As if she’d known in advance that they’d need some direction on this first festive season without her.

Celebrate this Christmas as if I was still here?

Because I will be, in my own way – in all the little festive traditions we have followed over the years, and recipes and rituals that have become our family’s staples . . .

Her mother was right (as always) – though of course she wouldn’t have known how fractured the family bond had become in the interim.

But once Romy read through the entire diary and her mother’s fond memories of all those beloved family times together, it became very clear in her mind what needed to happen, inspired in particular by that reference to her mum’s favourite festive song, ‘Grown Up Christmas List’.

So, her mind racing, she went back and read through the entries all over again, this time with a pen in hand.

All she needed now was to get the rest of the family on board, a potentially tricky task that obviously needed some gentle finessing, given the current sibling stand-off.

But, Romy mused, standing up and clutching the single piece of paper as she went downstairs to rejoin the others, at least now she – quite literally – had a plan.

Yes, of course this will be a Christmas like no other.

But that doesn’t mean it has to be a terrible one.
