About the book: A Very British Christmas (2025) is a one-of-a-kind survival manual for everybody's least favourite aspect of the holiday season: having to spend it with your family.
Christmas, as we all know, is a minefield.
What the hell do you buy your mother-in-law?
How to deal with the inevitable arguments provoked by a simple game of Monopoly?
And where should you sit at the dining table to best avoid Grandad when he starts going off about politics?
From navigating the awkwardness of marrying into a Presents After Dinner family to the terrors of staying in someone else's house (especially when they have a weak flush), Very British Problems creator Rob Temple is here to ensure you will be invited back next year.
A Very British Christmas is available for pre-order and is expected to be released on 25 October 2025.
About the author: Rob Temple, the man behind Very British Problems, is a Cambridge-based journalist who started @soverybritish in December 2012, and now has over 5 million followers across X, Instagram and Facebook. Crippled by social anxiety, he enjoys writing about being awkward because it is therapeutic to read comments which assure him that he is very far from alone when it comes to awkward behaviour.
I just saw this announced and it's already on my to-buy list. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, Marianne. It's also on my to-buy list. Are you following him on Instagram?
DeleteActually, no, I don't. I try to not follow too many sites on Insta because sometimes it just gets too much. But I guess I really should. Are you on Insta, as well?
DeleteYes, I am but I'm not active there. I only follow people :D.
DeleteFrom time to time, I post some pictures that my friends might be interested. But yes, generally, I also just follow.
