But the arrival of a mysterious gift prompts Liberty to make some changes: starting with a daily challenge to say yes to everything for the month of December.

Story
Christmas is fast approaching at the new Hope Farm and Bev has convinced a reluctant Molly to organise an open day to raise some much needed funds ahead of the New Year. Their nativity tableau has everything they need: anti-social sheep, alpacas munching the Baby Jesus doll and a hairdresser dressed up as Santa Claus. But on Hope Farm it's going to take more than mulled wine and Christmas lights to get everyone in the festive spirit.

A real winter warmer with a cherry on top!
Its taken me a few days to write this review because I really wanted to think about how I could do it justice in a few words in a box. The simple answer to that is, I can't do it justice in a few words in a box on the internet. This is Milly's best yet and I have read and re-read every book she has written and I can hand on heart tell you that THIS book is phenomenal. From start to finish I was captivated yet it is quite different from her other books. I fell in love with every character and just when I thought I had a favourite - my mind was changed. By the end of the book I can confirm the "Figgy Six" are my favourite characters in a book ever. Each character is so different - they fit and yet they don't fit so beautifully. I didn't want the story to end but alas, all stories do indeed come to an end - although whilst wanting more because it was so beautifully written - I was not left dissatisfied with the ending - it brought me peace and happiness and a lightness that no other book has ever done before. I have sat and thought what my favourite part of the book is and the genuine answer is, I can't choose but if I was made to choose I would say moments with "the real BBC" are up there with one of my favourite pieces in the book. I listened to this as an audio book but as I treat myself to a signed copy of the hardback - I will definitely read it myself very soon. I feel super Christmassy and happy and light and sad and happy again all at once and that's exactly what a book should do for you - it should evoke all kinds of emotion and this hit the spot beautifully!

I wish I could spend Christmas at Figgy Hollow
This audio story was so good, when it finished I went right back to the start and listened to it again! What a fabulously feel good magical story to brighten up this gloomy year, not normally one for Christmas tales, but this is so lovely I went and bought the book version so I can indulge with the characters of the holidays. Love Love Love .. Milly Johnson at her fabulous best! What a Christmas cracker.

On the level with Patrick Duffy coming out of the shower in Dallas
I love a Christmas book. But this one has so much sugar it puts your teeth on edge. The storyline requires suspension of reality that was difficult to read without groaning. The language used was so basic that I couldn’t believe Milly Johnson was the author. Have her other books but this feels like a Friday afternoon writing in the hope of making some money out of silly people like me who love a Christmas story to lift your heart. Yes, the genre is formulaic, but it could still be a good story. I couldn’t wait for it to finish. Sorry Millie

Great story
This is my first ever review, even though I have about 200 books in my audible library. Well written, brilliantly narrated; it has all the elements of a really good story. Great characters are brought to life so much you care for them. No spoilers, but 'Brian' is also a delight! I agree with the other 5 star reviewers ... a little bit of subtle, seasonal magic.
